With all of the E wind we've experienced lately not many migrating raptors have flown over Rosetta, only 45 birds in total since the 4th. A big 'thankyou' to everyone who has been to the park and reported their sightings.
Here's where we are as of this morning...
Currently:
Turkey Vulture - 1208
Osprey - 37
Bald Eagle - 61
Northern Harrier - 50
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 417
Cooper's Hawk - 7
Northern Goshawk - 0
Red-shouldered Hawk - 1
Broad-winged Hawk - 67
Red-tailed Hawk - 48
Rough-legged Hawk - 0
Golden Eagle - 1
American Kestrel - 153
Merlin - 16
Peregrine Falcon - 9
Unidentified Accipiter - 0

Hopefully someone sees a few migrants today. I'm crushin' turkey later so I can't get down to the park.
Keep an eye on Thursday's weather forecast!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving,
Walter
