Many thanks to Brian Butler for conducting today's count and to Craig Stockert for his spotting efforts ! Per Brian it was a super comfortable weather day on the ridge with plenty of cloud cover to help pick out some of those high fliers. Just a steady trickle of birds all day long with Broadwings coming in as mostly singles, doubles or triples. Another day with nice raptor diversity as 10 species were counted today. The Bird(s) of the Day selection goes to the Merlin and the Coopers hawk that came in to the owl decoy simultaneously, saw each other and chased each other around the owl decoy 3 times before heading down ridge !
