Raptor Observations: Migrants: One migrating Northern Harrier at 9:45 hawk time. Saw this bird leave the island.
Raptors that failed to migrate: 6 to 12 Northern Harriers in and around the marsh during the entire hawk watch. Sex and age data not identifiable.. One adult bald eagle.
Non-raptor Observations: Other birds: Very quiet, usual suspects, killdeer, song sparrows, tree sparrows, goldeneye, mockingbird, common crow, etc.
Predictions: Very high probability of rain throughout the entire daylight hours. Wind direction variable NNW, N, NW, NNE.... In short, any significant movement on the island would be highly unlikely. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Robert Secatore (<rs8843829...>) Plum Island MA information may be found at: http://www.massbird.org/emhw
