Observation start time: 09:15:00 Observation end time: 15:15:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: Rob Woodward
Observers:
Visitors: 40, including a lady who found a shiny penny that must have been unfound for who knows how long. Her group made their wishes and she tossed it, Trevi Fountain-like.
Weather: Very similar to yesterday, plenty of high thin clouds to bring out the hawks with some lower cumulus; light winds from the NE swithching briefly in the afternoon to NW, then back to NE; 53 - 66 F.
Raptor Observations: A slow day, nothing like yesterday. 3 hawks were seen flying south!
Non-raptor Observations: Did you see this? The Pack is back! Pack Monadnock is running a spring count this year, the first in many years. Do they dare to challenge Alton Bay's supremacy of spring hawk watching in NH? Let the games begin.
Predictions: Similar weather to the past 2 days which does not translate into a big day or a average day, we will just have to get out and count. I will have some comments about the peak date of Broad-winged Hawk tomorrow. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Rob Woodward (<toucanrob...>)
