Very light winds and falling BP suggested a poor migratory raptor flight
along the lakefront at Cranberry over the past 3 days. In spite of this it
is great to have the support of so very many observers, visitors,
bird-photographers. I shall close down the CMRW site on November 30.
On Nov.14 a juvenile BALD EAGLE raised the year's record total to 56; also 2
dark morph ROUGH-LEGGEDS came through; then, at 1230 and 1255 Rosemary
Harris identified 2 GOLDEN EAGLES to the west of Hall's Rd.(she photographed
one of them). Non-raptors for Nov.14--a warbler (possibly a Yellow) and a
N.Shrike.
On Nov.15, among the "resident" raptors were 4 N.Harriers, 1 Cooper's Hawk
and 3 Red-taileds.
Migratory Hawks were few--a late Turkey Vulture among the 5 counted. We had
good views of the still-hanging-in-there MOORHEN, along with 8 Cedar
Waxwings, Red-breasted Nuthatch, PURPLE FINCH
Counters for Nov.14, 15- Dan Kaczynski, Doug Lockrey
Observers--Dan Kaczynski, John Stirrat, Karl Jennewein, Joyce Collier-Brown,
King Baker, Fred Horst, Jim Skeine, Rosemary Harris, Jim Fairchild, Harry
Kerr, Jim Griffiths, Del Umholtz and many others
