Not much to report over the last four days from the Hawk Watch, inclement weather and lack of N element winds are to blame. Tomorrow's NW wind should bring joy and happiness to us all.....please remember, I said "should". You just never know at this time of the season.
Nov 3rd:
Cooper's Hawk - 1
Nov 5th:
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1
To Date:
Black Vulture - 1
Turkey Vulture - 3301
Osprey - 140
Bald Eagle - 104
Northern Harrier - 258
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 3696
Cooper's Hawk - 109
Northern Goshawk - 16
Red-shouldered Hawk - 73
Broad-winged Hawk - 1418
Red-tailed Hawk - 855
Rough-legged Hawk - 5
Golden Eagle - 7
American Kestrel - 697
Merlin - 127
Peregrine Falcon - 79
Total - 10886
We now need only 114 birds to reach the '11000 Raptors Counted' mark. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see that number reached with a good steady stream of Red-tails.
As mentioned, NW wind on Friday! Fingers crossed!
