Folks:

An adult Ferruginous Hawk has returned to its winter roost near New and 
Rucker in Gilroy as described below.  It may not always use the TV antenna, 
as I found it last winter perched on a shelter in a nearby horse 
pasture.  Anyway, our most reliable Ferruginous Hawk in years and a 
handsome bird.

Bill

>Hi Bill-
>I am happy to report the Ferruginous Hawk showed itself early (5:00) this
>morning on the same nightly roosting perch used over all these years.  I was
>beginning to fret that this would be the year that it wouldn't show up, not
>knowing its age or how long they live.
>
>I went through my journal this morning and wrote down following dates when
>it was first noticed:
>1999--10/22
>2000--10/31
>2001--10/17
>2002--10/25
>2003--11/12
>
>I have seen it every year since January 1994 when we first moved to Gilroy,
>but didn't document the arrival until 1999.  Always using the same perch. It
>flies in at dusk and out just before dawn. Over the next few days, I will
>monitor and see if it still prefers the same TV antenna on New Avenue.
>
>All the best,
>Bonnie Bedford-White
