Which raptor species did our class see on its 9/14/14 field trip to Hawk Hill?

Answer:

Cooper's Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, Red-tailed Hawk, and Red-shouldered Hawk.

Given our next field trip to Las Gallinas and Highway 37 (Scaggs Island) is on 10/12/14, perhaps we'll more likely see "winter" resident raptor species such as Ferruginous and Rough-legged Hawk. These two species are starting to arrive now through the winter, so they are more likely to be spotted in October than September.
