Raptor Observations: The shift in the wind moved the winds to the hillside. Three immature bald eagles came through in what appeared to be a bonded group, two performing involved aerobatics. The broadwing flight continues. Non-raptor Observations: A mockingbird, but no western meadowlark yet. Sceptical Tom came for the predicted flight, But after he came few birds were in sight; Then the afternoon brought more hawks than one broadie, And Tom had to admit the day wasn't too shoddy. Jill and Berk Adams, Jann Randell and Mike Ceci helped with the count, but not with the doggerel. Predictions: Sunny, even warmer than today, moderate southwesterly winds. Could be another good day. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Gilbert Randell (janngil(AT)cecomet.net) BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.

Total for 4/17/08 = 27. Included were the following: Pat, Marie, Joanne, Brendan, Becky, Skip, Sheila, Hannah, Landon, Beth, Cheryl, Rob, Sarah, Cedar, and Hans. Good spotting by one and all. Please hurry back! Weather: Awesome weather today - South winds virtually all day. Comfortable temps all day. No complaints whatsoever, but a few clouds would be welcome... Raptor Observations: Let us start with an adult Bald Eagle escorting a Basic I Eagle through our viewing range. These Birds were dogfighting for several minutes, with some brief "talon grappling" included. Simply awesome. Or how about the adult male Northern Harrier that flew North, maybe 60 yards West of Bradbury Mountain. This "pale ghost" left us speechless. Perhaps an extended look at a Merlin circling and showing off would strike your fancy. If not, then maybe the multi-colored adult male American Kestrel, flying 60 feet above our heads would do the trick. Or the numerous and varied close looks at Broad-winged Hawks would perhaps awe and amaze you. Of course, if spectacular Birds, wonderful weather, and interesting guests don't pique your curiosity, then you probably aren't reading this anyway. Bradbury Mountain awaits you - and we look forward to seeing you. Non-raptor Observations: Cedar Waxwing, Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Pine Warbler, were all observed. Predictions: I predict i will have fun. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jeannette Lovitch (wildbirdcenter(AT)yarmouthbirds.com) BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.
