I will be writing up the findings as of this weekend -- have to have
that chapter completed by October 12, so it's kind of late now. I
will be still looking at findings next week, but after that, I will
just mainly be writing. However, whenever a report is completed, I
would still like to have a look at it. I think the most interesting
"finding" is that your epi made some sort of objection to the handling
of the data, or the reporting or whatever it was, and I would really
like to know more about that. I know the chances of that are probably
nil, but that little piece all by itself is fairly significant.

Observation start time: 07:00:00

Total observation time: 9 hours
Official Counter: Calvin Brennan
Observers: Al Kostyniak, Jerry Stanley, Ron Harkness, Terry

Visitors:
Frank Kitakis
Jim Maki
Bob Westland
Mandy Martin etal. from Greenville,OH
Weather:
It was a mainly sunny day again today with a bit of high cirrus to
provide
a bit of a background for any high-flying migrants. Winds were
light from
the west early becoming southwest and then moderate to fairly
strong
east-southeast by mid afternoon.
Raptor Observations:
Although there were not the numbers of Broad-wings seen in recent
days,
overall there was a steady flight recorded throughout the day with
Sharpies
dominating the movement but with good numbers of most species
particularly
Harriers. Only a few actually kettles of Broad-wings were seen with
most of
those recorded being ones and twos mixed in with other migrants. A
few
folks that wandered northward reported that the migration was
minimal to
the north, so unlike the previous day it appeared that most of the
action
was within view of the count area.
Non-raptor Observations:
Monarchs picked up considerably in the afternoon when the wind went
more to
the east. A single Common Nighthawk was also noted.

The juvenile Ruff was still at Wildwood today. It 'arrived' around
9:30 AM
on the west side of the 31 st line bridge, feeding with Pectoral
Sandpipers,
Lesser Yellowlegs, Killdeer, and a few Least Sandpiper. The
resevoir is
being drawn down so there are now lots of potential places for the
shorebirds to feed.
Directions to the 31 st Oxford line bridge can be found on previous
days
postings.
