Observation details

Had a group of at least 10 roosting on one of the fence lines just outside the entrance. The group appeared to be a mix of adults and immatures with some dark morph and intermediates. As the day progressed and heated up, we saw what we assume was this group mixed in with other hawk species forming a type of "kettle".
