Hi folks, The rush is on! Weve had our biggest numbers of the season so far the last couple of days: 3,919 on Tuesday and 13,761 on Wednesday, 12,560 of which were Broad-winged Hawks. These are still mostly immatures; the big push of adult broadies is yet to come.
The newest on the spectacular passerine migration, the raptor flight forecast, and other news about Hawk Ridge is located on our website: www.hawkridge.org; scroll down and click on "Hawk Ridge News". And it's STILL not too late to register for Hawk Weekend, September 23-25--send it soon, or wait and register at the door. Speakers include Dr. Mark Fuller, raptor researcher from Idaho, and Al Batt, writer, birder, and humorist. Hawk Ridge Bird Observatorys second Annual Member Meeting will take place prior to the Saturday evening program, and were raking in some wonderful items for our silent auction fundraiser. See our website for registration information and more details on the event. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments! You can also call us directly at the Ridge to find out what's happening: 218.428.6209.
