I've seen them every year for the past 15 years in Pierre Part and Morgan City. If you are a bird watching enthusiast, head that way one weekend. You'll be sure to see them.

Unrelated, she and her husband are well known falconers and probably the premiere breeder of harris' hawks in the US.

I was seeing the ones around the house almost daily, for a couple of weeks. Now I think it has been a couple of weeks since I have seen them...

I spent a lot of time in the Atchafalaya Basin during the summers between 84 and 90. I used to see these daily, and more than one. They seemed pretty common at that time.

I haven't seen but one or two this year, but Leesville to Merryville, especially Merryville can fill up with them at certain times.

Just spoke with her. She was very nice and was looking for information on sighting.
