Attached is an update of the Tussey Mt Golden Eagle cumulative chart.
At the end of February, the GE total (thick red line) was ahead of all other years. In the first 2 weeks of March, the GE total closely tracked the long-term mean (thick blue line). More recently, the GE total has been slightly less than the mean.
We had favorable S or SE wind on March 12-14 and counted 27 Golden Eagles. That wind direction is also favorable for the Allegheny Front hawk watch east of Johnstown and they counted 56 Golden Eagles during March 12-14, or double what we counted. It has happened before that several days of S/SE wind appears to blow GEs toward the Allegheny Front escarpment and away from Tussey Mt. We do well with individual S/SE wind days, but less so with consistent S/SE.
I think that we will end up with a total similar to those of several other recent years.
