Favourable winds and clear skies promised a great flight, that unfortunately it didn't materialize.
A few birds amused the 15 or so people who attended the watch today for about 5.5 hours. 210 Turkey Vultures 1 Osprey 1 Northern Harrier 27 Sharp-shinned Hawks 1 Cooper's Hawk 11 Red-tailed Hawks 6 American Kestrels Other birds included two Barn Swallows and a Virginia Rail. Zillions (approximately) Green Darners and 3 Monarchs also razed the skies. Cranberry Marsh can be reached by exiting 401 at Salem Rd and going south to Bayly then east to Hall's Rd then south to the south paltform.
