Roger Rouch and I manned the hawk watch today for the RMBO volunteer crew, very slow, with only eight migrant raptors (3 species) observed. Best sightings of the day were near eye-level views of a male American Kestrel, using a tailwind to slip north along the ridge with nary a flap, and a Red-tailed Hawk stooped on by a local Red-tail. The Juniper Titmouse was active, sighted by several birders and it called and sang frequently near the watch. The seasonal push of Mountain Bluebirds was active with 41 zipping by. We finished the day with a migrant Ferruginous Hawk. Thanks for the help and excellent company from all the observers!
