Official Counter: Len DeFrancisco
Observers: Len DeFrancisco, Terry Mahoney
Visitors:
Frank and Sandy Dolby
Weather:
Sunny with temperatures getting up to 19C as we moved inland. Surface
winds from the lake to the top of the escarpment were northerly: thermals
over the land pulled cold air from the lake, creating northerly surface
winds up to several miles south of the lake; winds elsewhere were
southerly.
Raptor Observations:
The northerly surface winds created a nice surf on the hillside for good
numbers of ospreys, northern harriers, accipiters and redtails. The 11:00
o'clock golden eagle was a juvenile or a Basic I. The peregrine came
through low at Site 2. Two non-migrant bald eagles: one adult, one
immature.
Non-raptor Observations:
We moved from Route 5 to Parker Road to Belson Road as the northerly winds
continued to push the birds inland.
One sandhill crane.
Tom W., Mike C., Jann R. helped with the count.
Predictions:
Showers and thunderstorms possible, but strong southerly winds might bring
some birds.

Some sweet local Bald Eagle action. A nice look at a male Merlin. Also, 1
male Northern Harrier counted.
Non-raptor Observations:
Want to thank Lionel for spending some time on the Mountain. Excellent
spotting as usual, Lionel!

Weather:
Heavy overcast prevailed throughout the day with occasional mist and fog in
the morning. Winds were light west-southwest early becoming moderate
west-northwest and dropping to light northwest late in the day.
Raptor Observations:
A light migration was seen throughout with most species seen in much lower
numbers than in recent days. Highlighting the day was yet another
Short-eared Owl that made an appearance first thing in the morning. Later,
at mid morning, a mobbing group of crows roused a roosting Long-eared Owl
from the jackpines near the platform.
Non-raptor Observations:
Highlighting the non-raptor sightings was an immature Northern Shrike.
