Bake Oven Knob 2 miles North of Germansville, Pennsylvania, USA Daily Raptor Counts: Oct 19, 2026 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation start time: 07:30:00 Observation end time: 12:30:00 Total observation time: 5 hours
Official Counter:
Observers:
Visitors: About 30 visitors today, mostly a group of middle schoolers led by Mr. Byer again. A really great group that was super excited by wooly bears and stick insects in the absence of birds.
Weather: Clear all day, light north wind in the morning that became very still within a hours. 39-62 degrees F.
Raptor Observations: Very little movement today, probably due to the lack of much wind. Today�s field trip kids were getting sick of only seeing turkey vultures, when as they were lining up to leave two black vultures made very close loops overhead. I haven�t seen middle schoolers cheer that hard since my last day of 8th grade.
Non-raptor Observations: PINE SISKIN flyover, plus a flock of LESSER SCAUP that I initially thought were gadwall!
Predictions: Clear, with a high of 68 and north wind 5-10 mph. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Lehigh Gap Nature Center (<mail...>) Bake Oven Knob information may be found at: www.lgnc.org
