Other migrating raptors include 1 OSPR, 1 BAEA, 4 RTHA, 17 BWHA, 1 SSHA, and 1 COHA, 1 TUVU, and 1 AMKE.
Just like today, our GOEA today came through fast and high up. Thermals seemed even stronger than yesterday and I suspect there were a few more raptors in the afternoon that were so high I couldn't spot them. Most of the BWHA that I spotted today were in the morning.
Our local BWHA was seen fighting migrants and at one point got physical with another BWHA.
A fun day for finches. I had 59 PUFI and 129 AGOL flyovers, both high counts for the season. 2 HOFI and 4 PISI also flew over. Other passerine flyovers include 20 BLJA, 1 PUMA, 1 TRES, 2 NRWS, 4 BARS, 2 EABL, 1 COGR, and 5 YRWA. Also 17 DCCO.
Notable local birds include 2 BHVI, 1 RBNU, 2 BAWW, 2 BTNW, 1 PIWA, and 1 YRWA. The raven was seen carrying food towards its nest again and one of the MODO was seen doing a display flight several times.
Predictions: Partly cloudy with low NW/NNW winds. Unless there's an unexpected shift in weather, it doesn't look like it will be a good day for raptors. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Thomas Filip () Tussey Mountain Hawk Watch information may be found at: tusseymountainspringhawkwatch.org/
