Mt Pero, South Campton NH 40 hawks 4.5 hours
Not an “official” site. Postage stamp view of sky overhead, with somewhat open view to west.
Hours: 1210 to 1530 EDT minus total 30 minutes absent . 15% wispy cirrus cloud to start, varying throughout watch period from10 to 20% to 0%; Winds: light W at ground level, but cloud movement indicated higher speed out of WNW aloft, becoming NW circa 1540
Daily Raptor Counts: Sep 16, 2025
Species Day's Count
Sharp-shinned Hawk 2
Cooper's Hawk 1
Broad-winged Hawk 36
Peregrine Falcon 1
Comments: The BWs were counted in the 1200 to 133 hour, with another minor pulse between 1400 and 1430. From then on NW winds+ BLUE skies = unfulfilled optimism. (Similar to Little Round Top historic situation)
