Year 16 for this route for me. It was run for some time by Dave Brandes
previously. Redtails were on the low side this year with the highest of 45
in 2010. Turkey Vultures beat the last high of 55 in 2021. BV on the
higher side of their numbers. Kestrels and Eagles about average lately and
the Harrier and two Coops were nice finds.
