They had no problem with NW winds yesterday but today they had little tolerance. Not only is this count almost identical to Concord's (like it should be every night) but almost all birds were also seen during a one hour period between 5:15 and 6:20. These birds were all headed NE and NW.
Not all was lost, a pretty good raptor list:
Bald Eagle - daily sighting of a 1st year birdOsprey - almost daily hereNorthern Harrier - northbound - not migratingBroad-winged Hawk - non-migrantMerlin - chasing the pigeons again at the dam control towerAmerican Kestrel - they nest in the areaOddball sighting - Wilson's Snipe - came out and flew across
Season total = 4,029
This all topped off with a hearty meal at Tilton Kentucky Fried Chicken.
