Today's hawk count at Lighthouse Point Park was a tenfold increase from yesterday's. Friday we tallied 32 raptors from 8 species (turkey vulture, bald eagle, Northern harrier, sharpie, Cooper's, red-shouldered, red-tailed, merlin) . Today we rang in over 350 sightings, adding osprey, broad-winged and peregrine to the species list. Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks ruled the morning with a bonus broad-winged hawk. The afternoon brought more buteos (red-tailed, red-shouldered) and over 150 turkey vultures. The birds were distant in the afternoon, but clouds were welcome. The big treat of the afternoon was a flyover white pelican!! Many thanks for great eyes and assistance today!
