Here is the first Golden Eagle cumulative chart for the Tussey Mt hawk watch this season.
At the end of February, our Golden Eagle cumulative count was ahead of all previous seasons. However, we haven't counted many on the last several days of strong WNW wind, so this year's cumulative total of 73 is now consistent with a group of other years. Good so far, but not extraordinarily so. Possible that we could get S wind days later next week.
If there are multiple S wind days early in the season, many Golden Eagles tend to drift to the Allegheny Front. The AF hawk watch has tallied 16 Golden Eagles so far this year, so that scenario has been limited, which is good for our count.
