*Bald Eagle Mountain - Eagle Field*
State College, Pennsylvania, USA
Observation start time: 08:15:00
Observation end time: 16:15:00
Total observation time: 7.92 hours
Official Counter Nick Bolgiano
Observers: Sean McLaughlin
*Weather:*
Wind WNW 8-12 mph until 1300, then 13-15 mph until 1600, frequent short
snow squalls, mostly cloudy, temp -11:-10C. Other than the squalls, very
good migration conditions.
*Raptor Observations:*
GE(16 Ad, 1 Unk): 918, 934(2), 954, 1010 Unk, 1040, 1043, 1112, 1148, 1151,
1208, 1238, 1328, 1401, 1519, 1540, 1546 BE: Ad-1, Imm-2 All of the GE were
seen on the NW side of BE Mt and they proceeded easily across the gap. The
Unk GE flew around to our right, presumably avoiding a squall. The last two
came in fairly low, appearing to look for a roost.
*Non-raptor Observations:*
*Predictions:*
Next watch days, with predicted wind: Monday - 8-12 mph W; Wednesday
starting around 1100 - 8-12 W; Friday - 14-16 mph W/WNW; Since the snow and
cold of almost two week ago, GEs have been moving steadily through. I
expect this to continue, while gradually tapering off. Friday is likely the
best remaining day.
