Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory
Peterborough, New Hampshire, USA
Visitors:
24. Good to see lots of couples and pairs of friends out for a hike carrying binoculars and looking for hawks! Hello to Dan and Mame Bisaccio, Van Zimmer, and Mitch Heydt.
Weather:
Very warm with light southwest to south winds. Temps rising from 15-26 C. Clear to partly cloudy with haze most of the day.
Raptor Observations:
A few migrants trickled by in the morning, but by afternoon it was all locals - Red-tails sparring with Ravens over both Wapack summits, and adult and juvenile Broad-wings appearing for a short time.
Non-raptor Observations:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (7), Chimney Swift (1), Winter Wren (1), American Pipit (1), Eastern Towhee (1 - continuing juvenile female at seed), warblers - Tennessee (1), Nashville (3), Black-throated Blue (1), Black-throated Green (1), Yellow-rumped (6), unidentified (6) 1 Monarch.
Predictions:
Warm and humid with southwest winds. Fog or haze possible. Raptors may wait until Sunday or later to move.
