Observer
Name Karen C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks 3 women golfers were stopped to watch a hawk land atop a tree. All 3 gawking at the sky when it happened. We all saw it and compared notes. The others said it was yellow at the end and had a bit of a tail. I did not observe that. It looked like a magnesium strip burning. I guessed it was over Lake Ontario. It was very awesome. KC
