Official Counter | Levi Burford |
Observers: | Meade Cadot, Melanie Haber |
Visitors:39 visitors.
Weather:Wind from the west and cool temps.
Raptor Observations:It was a steady stream in the morning. We had some good looks at
non-migratory Cooper's Hawks and some of the local migrants that popped up
around the watch.
We had a great look at a local immature Red-shouldered Hawk today hit a
flying leaf twice and then decide that going to bug a Turkey Vulture would
be more fun. Poor TV!
Non-migrants included: 5 Turkey Vultures, 3 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Cooper's
Hawks, and 1 Red-shouldered Hawk.
Non-raptor Observations:Lots of passerines flying by the platform in the morning going
unidentified.
Migrants included:
101 Canada Geese
1 Common Loon
7 Northern Flickers
7 Blue Jays
We had 4 Purple Finches, 2 American Goldfinches, and (maybe our first) 1
Pine Siskin.
Predictions:Tough sayin' with little wind. Maybe good but maybe the migrant well is dry
until a weather system restarts the process.
