Visitors: 17. Hello to Curt and Mary!
Weather: Cloudy with patches of sunlight late. Winds from the WNW, around 15 mph. Temps steady at 41 degrees. Sprinkle of rain during 2pm.
Raptor Observations: A sharpie zipped by close, and a few red-tails sailed south on the breeze. The last raptor of the day was a beautiful adult Bald Eagle, its features highlighted brilliantly by the afternoon sunlight.
Non-raptor Observations: Other bird sightings included a Common Loon flying over, Downy Woodpecker foraging nearby, and the season's first Fox Sparrow. Mammals seen were voles, shrew, weasel, red squirrel, and porcupine.
Predictions: More winds from the west and perhaps a little bit more sunshine. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Kate McKay (<northernjay444...>) Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory information may be found at: www.harriscenter.org
