I spent a couple of hours around noon by the observatory on Mt
Pleasant today. My hope was that, with the moderate SW wind, there
would be a significant raptor flight. Unfortunately, that didn't
happen. Still there were some interesting sights:
2 local Rough-legged Hawks, one light, one dark
5 Common Ravens, two pairs local and one fly-over
somewhere around 600 blackbirds flying north, mostly Red-winged, some
Common Grackles
one flight of 200 Snow Geese, all white, no blue morphs, and no Ross's
2 Killdeer
6 local Red-tailed Hawks.
1 local Turkey Vulture
several rather disorganized flocks of Canada Geese heading north
