Great Day on Raptor Alley

[The Nunn Guy]

Hi all

Snow-packed dirt roads (only 1-3" fell here), clear blue sky, no wind, cold and sunny-awesome for raptoring. Missed the two Merlin seen last 30 days. Total of 45 birds:

• Red-tailed Hawk - 9
• Prairie Falcon - 4
• Bald Eagle - 6
• Ferruginous Hawk - 6
• Northern Harrier 5
• Rough-legged Hawk - 6 (now 6-7 birds in Nunn area)
  
• American Kestrel 6
• Golden Eagle - 3 (family unit)
  

Also, Lapland Longspur (2-4, CR 108 BTW 33/31; American Tree Sparrow (7) and Common Raven (3).
