Raptor Observations: Another tough day on the ridge even with a lot of helpful eyes scanning the clear blue skies. Thanks to Phil for conducting the count today. Thanks to the Coon regulars and helpful visitors that tried to pull as many birds as possible out of the challenging blue skies. Nice job ! Phil's choice for Bird(s)of the Day goes to the THREE peregrines that put on a show for hours on the reservoir side. Attacking every poor vulture that passed within sight. These are likely local peregrines that nest on nearby cliffs and were deemed as not migrating today.
