Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory
Peterborough, New Hampshire, USA
Visitors:
53 visitors stopped by, some getting to see a Bald Eagle. Thanks John for helping us find birds!
Weather:
Mostly sunny, gradually becoming mostly cloudy. Wind from the northwest, shifting to the west in the afternoon. Temperatures starting at about 25 °F and warming up to 32 °F by the end of the day. Nice view of Mt. Washington.
Raptor Observations:
A handful of red-tails, one sharpie, and one red-shoulder on the move. Two red-tails and three Bald Eagles flying around but not migrating.
Non-raptor Observations:
White-throated Sparrows outnumbered juncos at the seed today. The Fox Sparrow also made an appearance. Skeins of geese went by throughout the day, and a distant Great Blue Heron traveled south as well. Pine Grosbeak and Red Crossbills were heard but not seen.
Predictions:
Wind from the west tomorrow.
