26 September In Richmond, 2 juvenile Broad-winged Hawks flew over Miller-Knox Regional Shoreline. This area can be good for hawks (though far from the quantities in the Marin Headlands). From the first parking lot, walk across the road. Follow a trail uphill between the vegetation and the small blue-and-yellow building, aiming for the obvious gap in the hills. Turn right and go straight up the steep hill to the top, and look for hawks.
