Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 13:30:00 Total observation time: 4.5 hours
Official Counter: Rob Woodward
Observers:
Visitors: 35, surprisingly busy for a cool brisk November day. One person was a graduate of Matt Tarr's birding class.
Weather: Nearly cloudless sky; moderate NW wind turning W/NW in afternoon; 39 - 47 F with a high of 49 F.
Raptor Observations: The 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks put this season's count within 2 of a new season high count. 2 Red-tails and 2 Turkey Vultures were not counted as migrants.
Non-raptor Observations: The story of the day is Evening Grosbeak: 112 counted in many flocks, some numbering in the teens and twenties, foreshadowing the "modeate flight" of this species as predicted by the Winter Finch Forecast.
Predictions: This is likely the last count of the year. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Rob Woodward (<toucanrob...>)
