Other migrating raptors include 2 OSPR, 2 BAEA, 11 RTHA, 2 BWHA, 3 SSHA, 1 COHA, and 2 AMKE.
Raptor migration was not as strong today as predicted, but we did have a nice diversity throughout the day. Our GOEA of the day was an adult which I was a little surprised to see this late in the season.
66 loons seen today, a high count for the season. Most were distant, but we did have 1 group of 22 fly directly overhead.
We also had 7 DCCO, 2 GBHE, and 5 RBGU. Not too many passerine flyovers with just 1 AMRO, 1 BHCO, 1 AGOL, and 1 HOFI.
We spotted a CORA flying low through the powerline cut carrying a flying squirrel in its bill. Weird but kind of fun.
Predictions: Sunny with low SSW winds in the morning gradually shifting to moderate WSW winds by the end of the day. Uncertain what the raptor migration will look like tomorrow. It could be a decent day, but the past couple of days should have in theory been better days. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Thomas Filip () Tussey Mountain Hawk Watch information may be found at: tusseymountainspringhawkwatch.org/
