Raptor Observations: Two Northern Harriers migrating low on the north side. Juvenile Golden Eagle perched on top of tree in front of slope of 1, eventually took off and started flying around and chasing ravens. Dropped down into woods but popped back up three more times throughout the rest of the afternoon, flying with ravens in the area, but never migrated.
Non-raptor Observations: Ravens, chickadees, WB nuthatch, pileated and downy woodpecker, American goldfinches, dark-eyed juncos and great look at red crossbill that perched on the hemlock out front of the lookout, snacked on a cone, before flying off.
