Visitors:
39 visitors in total, including; Ella, Jamie, Benjamin, Nolan, Skip,
Paul(also known as "Kestrel Dude"), Diane, Ed, Kellie, Luke, and Heidi. By
the way Heidi, thank you for bringing Luke to the Hawkwatch; and Skip,
thank you for bringing Paul to the Hawkwatch!
Excellent spotting done by Lionel, Alan, Derek, Luke, Ed, Kellie, Heidi,
Jeff, Skip, Paul, and Jeannette(amongst others). (By the way, if i
misspelled your name Kellie, let me know when i see you next!)
Thanx to all - and please hurry back!
Weather:
Moderate to strong winds from the S and SSE all day long. Temps not bad,
but wind chill definitely a factor, particularly later in the day. Thermals
practically non-existent, but a nice updraft off of Bradbury Mountain.
Raptor Observations:
Consistent Broad-winged Hawk movement, although no kettle action to speak
of - due to the lack of thermals.
A strong day for Sharp-shinned Hawks; and nice showings by American
Kestrels and Ospreys.
An excellent overhead(and extended)look at a 3rd year Bald Eagle.
Also had an American Kestrel female fly directly overhead(maybe 20 yards
up); followed a minute or two later by a male Merlin, on the same exact
flight line. Way cool !
Non-raptor Observations:
Highlight of the day was 18-20 Bohemian Waxwings. These awesome beauties
showed up about 15 minutes before closing, and topped off another fine day
on Bradbury Mountain.
Predictions:
I predict that tomorrow is Monday.

Observers:
Weather:
Today saw a mix of sun and cloud with moderate north-northwest winds
becoming fairly strong and gusty from the northwest in the afternoon.
Raptor Observations:
A steady and considerable flight was recorded although as is a familiar
scenario under these wind conditions much of the movement was to the south
and east. Migration overall was dominated by Sharpies but there was a good
flight of Rough-legs throughout as well as a steady flight of Kestrels in
the afternoon, although not building to the same level late in the day as
the day previous.
Non-raptor Observations:
Flickers dominated the non-raptor migration with many dozens seen overall.
Bohemian Waxwings continue to be seen in small numbers and Redpolls are
still around in quite good numbers as well.
