Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory
Peterborough, New Hampshire, USA
Visitors:
109 visitors including Carolyn from Squam Lakes, folks from the UK and 35 4th grade students from Jaffrey Grade School. Despite a pretty slow migration day, they had sharp eyes and enjoyed watching ravens and retails play over North Pack. Nice to see Pam and Scott from Walpole.
Weather:
The day began with low fog in the valleys but crisp and clear with great visibility. Haziness increased throughout the day and temps in mid-upper 60's. Light winds from SSW.
Raptor Observations:
A few small groups of Broad-wings but overall a quiet day.
Non-raptor Observations:
Dark-eyed Junco, Black-capped chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Flicker, White-throated Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Cape May Warbler, Purple Finch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Red-eyed Vireo, Nashville Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Common Raven Canada Goose: 20 Monarchs: 1
Predictions:
Light NW winds and sun. Could be more productive than today.
