Warm southwesterly winds shifted to northwest early in the day. A bright,
cloudless, difficult sky with some haze.

The kettles of BW's are getting bigger. A beautiful look at one
non-migrant adult bald eagle. When the wind shifted to the north, the
birds were pushed to the hillside where they were high and wide. Thank
goodness for many and good sets of eyes.

Early morning brown thrasher serenaded us at site one. Chipping sparrow.
Jann Randell, Mike Ceci, Tom Waselewski and Dave Feliciano helped with the

Weather:
Beautiful sunny day with winds from the southwest swinging to west north
west and temprature srating at 15C and rising to 23C.
Raptor Observations:
Th flight started around 9:30AM EST and was constant until 2:00 PM EST when
it began to thin out. An immature Bald Eagle put in an appearance but chose
to fly west rather than migrating east. At 3:00PM EST we moved to the
Grimsby Drive site as the flight had moved inland and we had 35 sightings
in the last hour there.
Non-raptor Observations:
Purple Martin, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Common Loon and, at 1:09 EST, a
single Double-crested Cormorant flying north towards Lake Erie.
Predictions:
Sunny, with a high near 77. Southeast wind between 5 and 9 mph. The Ball
Park may be the best site.
========================================================================
Report submitted by Mike Hamilton (mhsr(AT)wzrd.com)
Site Description:
This spring only "all volunteer" watch is conducted at Lakeside Memorial
Park in Hamburg, NY. It is located on flat lake plain located along the
shoreline of the east end of Lake Erie, about 12 miles south of Buffalo,
NY.
Many North American hawk watch sites report their daily raptor counts at
www.hawkcount.org
To see what's being seen, where and when, check it out!
For additional information contact Jim Landau at kjlandau(AT)localnet.com
Directions to site:
Lakeside Memorial Park in Hamburg, NY. is located about 12 miles southwest

after the toll booth onto Camp Road (Route 75). Proceed through the traffic
light at Southwestern Blvd.(Route 20). The entrance to Lakeside Memorial
Park is on the left, less than 1/4 mile from the light. The watch is
normally conducted half way between the entrance and the woods. An
alternate site for easterly wind flights is at the William Williams Ball
Park, located on Rogers Rd. Take Route 20 south from Camp Rd. one traffic

Weather:
Lake breeze established early and that kept temps in the low 60sF [while it
reached 80F in Syracuse!].
Raptor Observations:
Observations primarily from the South Lookout, again.
Non-raptor Observations:
2 Sandhill Cranes, 170 Northern Flickers, 5 Pine Warblers, and F.O.S. Brown
Thrasher and Northern Mockingbird [an unusual migrant].
Predictions:
Saturday, like Friday: a few hundred hawks... we've run out of birds until
we get a pre-frontal push and that will likely be Sunday. But more young
Golden Eagles are likely to be among Broadwings and Sharpies.
