Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 15:30:00 Total observation time: 6.5 hours
Official Counter: Rob Woodward
Observers:
Visitors: 14, one of whom, Billy, was very interested and so earned a free hawk migration fact sheet.
Weather: Clear skies followed by increasing cloudiness with scattered showers by 3:30; winds calm to light from the NE and NNE; 64 - 77 F.
Raptor Observations: The first bird was a nice Northern Harrier at eye level then it slowed until 11:00 when streams of Broad-wings passed high overhead but then went dry after 12:00.
Non-raptor Observations: Red-tails cruise by closely as if to invite picture taking. Bird of the day was the 2nd record here of Lincoln's Sparrow. Monarchs did well, 9/27.
Predictions: More light NE winds tomorrow so there is bound to be a higher count than today. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Rob Woodward (<toucanrob...>)
