Observation start time: 07:00:00 Observation end time: 16:00:00 Total observation time: 9 hours
Official Counter: Kate McKay, Mark Timmerman
Observers: Andre Moraes, Chuck Carlson, Glen & Lori Chretien, Hillary Siener, Jim McCoy, Katrina Fenton, Levi Burford, Mark Timmerman, Mike Gebo, Mitch Heydt
Visitors: 136.
Weather: Mostly cloudy with only a slight breeze from the southwest. Temperatures ranging from 13.5-18 C.
Raptor Observations: A couple of small kettles of broad-wings were observed, along with a few birds on their own. After sharpies, harriers were the third most abundant raptor today. Because of the cloud cover, most birds were flying low. Our number of migrants for September is now over 1,000.
Non-raptor Observations: Other bird highlights included an immature White-crowned Sparrow, several Red-breasted Nuthatches, and a flock of Cedar Waxwings. Monarchs: 3/159 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds: 4/56
Predictions: Tomorrow should bring more sun, warmer temperatures, and hopefully more migrants with a light northwest wind. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Kate McKay (<northernjay444...>) Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory information may be found at: www.harriscenter.org
