Total observation time: 3 hours

Official Counter: Dan Niven, Mike Tetlow

Observers: Dan Niven

Visitors:
None


Weather:
Quite warm with strong SW winds. Mostly cloudy but birds got up in the
sunny or bright spots. The wind got too strong in the last 20 minutes and
birds stayed down.

Raptor Observations:
Even the Bald Eagles flapped against the wind so the Broad-wings really had
to work. One young Broad-wing was nearly finished molting with mostly adult
feathers.

Non-raptor Observations:
Cedar Waxwings, like the raptors, were still moving with four groups
totalling. 24.

Predictions:
Cooler west winds. Saturday has near perfect SW winds so a few eagles will
likely be moving.

Weather:
Started mostly cloudy with some wildfire haze. Forecast W/SW winds were
just West. Gradual clearing but surprising lake breeze slowed the flight at
1:00 EST and stopped it from the 2-3 hour. A strong switch to W/SW got the
birds moving again in the last 2 hours.

Raptor Observations:
A decent late juvenile Broad-wing flight and a great, mostly juvenile Bald
Eagle movement, especially when the wind got strong from the W/SW.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Cool with WNW winds so we won’t be out.

Weather:
Summer-like weather with temps in the mid-high 80's F, good SW-WSW winds
the entire count. Some hazy blue sky with variable cloud cover throughout
the day.

Raptor Observations:
Excellent June Broad-winged Hawk flight, with 1,147 tallied. Raptors were
certainly on the move prior to the official start time, but volunteer
coverage early this morning was not possible. Flight was relatively spread
out, but a good majority of the groups were lakeside. Some birds traveled
right over us as we watched from the shade of the hickory tree.

Highlight of the day was having 2 MISSISSIPPI KITES! Both were high and
glided by fast! The first was spotted high out over the bay giving a
little time to scope the bird. The second almost snuck by and traveled on
almost the same line, closer to the lake.

Good numbers of Turkey Vultures (263) and Bald Eagles (44), with a
smattering of Red-tailed Hawks (8), Osprey (5), and a couple of Northern
Harriers and one American Kestrel rounded out the day.


Non-raptor Observations:
One Sandhill Crane

Predictions:
Cooler and cloudier with afternoon showers and NNW winds will likely not
produce much migration.

This is wonderful news.  It is about time.  This will protect birds from disease and keep bears from destroying property.  My sister-in-law insisted on feeding birds at our camp in the Adirondacks.  The bird feed was stored in a shed on our property.  A bear ripped off the door of the shed.

Observation start time: 09:30:00
Observation end time: 15:00:00
Total observation time: 5.5 hours

Official Counter: Mike Tetlow

Observers: Bridget Watts, Dan Niven

Visitors:
3


Weather:
Totally cloudless sky but haze from Canadian Wildfires caused difficult
viewing and glare that made viewing difficult.

Raptor Observations:
Stronger SW winds than forecast forced birds out over the lake and many
came in from the lake behind us so we probably missed quite a few birds.
The Mississippi Kite did just that, fortunately with 2 Bald Eagles so it
was caught in the scope. Still it was a great Broad-wing flight and Eagle
numbers picked up later in the day. Probably a primer for a good Eagle
flight tomorrow.

Non-raptor Observations:
6 Sandhill Cranes circled the area several times. Common Nighthawks started
getting up in good numbers around 4 clock time (25 in one scan).

Predictions:
Continued strong SW winds ahead of approaching nighttime showers should
produce a good flight. At this date, Bald Eagles should have a great day.
