WSP visit Wednesday bore no hawk sightings – February 8, 2012

I was lucky enough to visit the park after work and before it became too dark outside on Wednesday. Although I and a friend searched for a long while, no hawks were seen roosting in or around the park.But have no fear, according to brief reports received “from the field” during the week, both Rosie and Bobby are as active as usual in the park.
