Remaining overcast for an hour or two then clearing to mostly sunny. Moderate to strong southerly winds that shifted westerly and pushed the flight inland, ending the count early. Raptor Observations: The best Broad-winged Hawk flight since May 19th with nearly 250, mostly in a single hour. A decent Bald Eagle flight for June with 29. Five migrating Red-tailed Hawks including an adult. A dozen Turkey Vultures. Two Ospreys and three harriers, including one low over the lake. Non-raptor Observations: 5 Common Terns, 6 Great Blue Herons. https://ebird.org/checklist/S353581187 Predictions: After off-winds for tomorrow there are quite a few days throughout the week with some potential for a flight, with a mix of sun and light southerly winds. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown ([email protected] ) Derby Hill Bird Observatory information may be found at: http://onondagaaudubon.com/derby-hill-bird-observatory/ More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=358 Count data submitted via Trektellen.org - Project info at: https://trektellen.org/count/view/3860/20260606 -- Oneidabirds-L List Info: Visit: http://LISTS.cornell.edu for more information Posting Address: [email protected] Sightings: Please submit your observations to eBird at http://www.ebird.org. --
