Mt Pero, South Campton NH 202 hawks 4.5 hours
Not an “official” site. Postage stamp view of sky overhead, with somewhat open view to west.
Hours: 1005 to 1530 EDT minus 40 minutes absent 90% cloud to start, varying throughout watch period from 60 to 90 Winds: light SE at ground level, but cloud movement indicated higher speed out of SSE aloft
Daily Raptor Counts: Sep 16, 2025
Species Day's Count
COMMENTS: A decent day at Postage Stamp Observatory, although frustrating in that visibility to the north and east is very limited by trees. Volunteer massage therapist position open for strained neck and shoulder relief.
Non-raptor observations: Black-throated Green Warblers appeared to be on the move throughout the day in great numbers. A warbler watching period was designated between 1630 and 1645 focusing on a single white birch tree. Observations included numerous B-t Greens, Blackburnians (2), Cape May (2), Chestnut sided (2), Magnolia, Pine, Black&White, Nashville, Parula plus 2 Red-eyed Vireos and a surprise Golden-crowned Kinglet.
Predictions: No observation September 18 due to observer obligations elsewhere. Best wishes for lots of hawks to everyone!
