My son and I just got back from Kettle Cove where there were 37 Brant. I ran into Leon Mooney and he reminded me that Scott Cronenweth reported a Rough-Legged Hawk out on Richmond Island recently. I decided to scan the island with the scope before I left and sure enough, above the last building visible to the right of the island, a large raptor with a white base of tail, mostly white underparts, and dark wrist patches was hovering above the building. It eventually flew to the left and I lost sight of it. First RLHA of the winter for me. Thanks Leon and Scott!
On a negative note, it has recently become difficult for me to confine my son in the stroller as he will cry that he wants to "walk in da mess." Aka snow. So that is what we did at Kettle Cove and he was really good, but when we got home and I started getting him out of his rear-facing car seat, I realized he had REALLY "walked in da mess!" Aka dog poo. So now I have to figure out how to clean dog mess off the upholstry of my car. Yeah...
