Bake Oven Knob 2 miles North of Germansville, Pennsylvania, USA Daily Raptor Counts: Aug 28, 2026 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation start time: 08:45:00 Observation end time: 15:45:00 Total observation time: 7 hours
Official Counter: Andre Vu
Observers:
Visitors: No visitors today at the north lookout other than the folks who cleaned up the graffiti removing their caution tape.
Weather: Very foggy early in the morning, clearing up around 10. Still hazy for a couple hours. 68-78 degrees F with a nice NNW wind at 4-13 mph throughout the day.
Raptor Observations: Bald eagle (3): 1136a, 1221i, 1416a Golden eagle (1): 1136a
In other news, good variety today with numbers staying about the same as they've been this week. Less broad-winged than I was expecting today, and I think today's the first time this season with no local black vultures.
Non-raptor Observations: Decent tree swallow flight once the fog cleared. I wasn't keeping track well enough but had to be about 50-100 birds, along with the expected barn swallows, martins, waxwings, a hummingbird.
Predictions: Sunny, with a high near 79. Calm wind.
