Observation start time: 13:00:00 Observation end time: 15:30:00 Total observation time: 2.5 hours
Official Counter: Sue Barth
Observers:
Weather: Mostly clear with periods of sun. Temps were in the mid-30's, moderate WSW winds.
Raptor Observations: Although Hamburg's season hasn't officially started yet, the favorable winds prompted me to stop in for a short visit. A total of 87 Turkey Vultures and 2 migrating Red-tails made the stop worthwhile. 3 local Red-tails were quite active.
Non-raptor Observations: 2 Mallards flew over (the pond was still frozen), 6 Wild Turkeys foraging on the lawn, no sign of the overwintering Red-headed Woodpecker.
Predictions: More SW winds, some rain in the morning and temperatures climbing to the mid-40's. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sue Barth (<suebarth...>)
