From:Tim Mccarthy via Ontbirds Greetings fellow Raptorwatchers:
Tuesday was a good one on Hawk Hill,there were lots of birds passing through, lots of sharp-eyed observers, and a few newbies who finally got to see what a Raptorwatch should be like. Thanks to all who came out, especially the birds. Northwest winds, albeit light ones, brought lots of small Passerines and the attendant Raptors who follow them. Everybody had a great time with the probable exception of some of the Passerines. Migration started around 10am and tapered off around 4 pm. We recorded: Turkey Vultures 157 Bald Eagle 1 N. Harrier 5 Sharp Shinned 89 Coopers 5 Broad Winged 2 Red Tailed 5 Am. Kestrel 6 Peregrine F. 1 Unid. Buteo 1 Unid. Raptor 1 Total 283 I'm so grateful to the many folks who say they miss my commentaries. HMANA is the website to find all that stuff every day.Home page is HMANA.org but there is a shortcut also. hawkcount.org will get you straight to the reports.Don't make the mistake of asking for Hawkwatch.org as it is also a terrific site but not the same.
