We're hoping to get down next week when on vacation, been following all the posts.
I couldnt get down,but was there in spirit. Spent the day at Kortright,just behind the barn,where there is a wide open vista and I was interested to see how many raptors passed by on a good wind day. I wasnt disappointed as I saw 190 raptors
20-TV
2-NH
1-BE
4-SS
1-CH
3-RS
151-RT
3-RL
5-GE
Most birds were high,some were quite distant. Alot were high but overhead. Some were within camera range. Including 2 of the GEs and an RS.
Glad Rosetta had another good day!! Next good north wind should bring many birds!
ok so some things never change..it was 189 not 190.
