Official Counter: Gil Randell
Observers: Gil Randell, Terry Mahoney
Weather:
Southwesterly winds shifting to northwesterly. A brief shower, just before
the watch opened, then steadily clearing skies until the last three hours
when there were no clouds to help us find the birds.
Raptor Observations:
A good flight of sharpies, harriers and kestrels near the lake early until
the wind shifted. Then the birds also shifted to the ridge with the
northerly winds and a few broadwings began to come.
Non-raptor Observations:
Field sparrow, savannah sparrow, barn swallow, tree swallow and chimney
swift. Jann Randell, Mike Ceci and Tom Waselewski helped with the count.
Predictions:
Mostly sunny, warm gentle east winds. The east winds will spread out any
migrants, which will make for a challenging day.

Visitors:
13 guests in total.
Weather:
Nice warm temps all day long. No wind early; light to moderate later;
mostly a South wind when it did blow.
Raptor Observations:
No large kettles, but an awesome day for Broad-winged Hawks.
However, Sharp-shinned Hawks and Falcons were at the very least, co-stars
of the day.
77 Sharpies; and many of the looks were point-blank. Incredible!
51 Falcons on the day. Awesome! 45 American Kestrels(again, many
short-range looks); 5 Merlins - including an excellent look at a male; and
1 very large female.
But perhaps the Bird of the day(on a stupendous Hawkwatching day), was a
Peregrine Falcon that came in from the West, and proceeded to fly right
over Bradbury Mountain(and our heads)- giving us a thrill that we will not
soon forget! You would think that this spectacular Falcon was the fastest
flying Bird on Planet Earth or something... Oh, wait; it is! Just our 2nd
Peregrine of the 2008 Count, and such an awesome Hawkwatching treat. Great
spot Brendan!!
Also, 3 immie Bald-eagles; including an extended look at a Basic I Eagle;
perhaps the largest Eagle that i have observed from Bradbury Mountain.
It was truly a joy to be on the Mountain today...
Non-raptor Observations:
Absolutely excellent Hawkwatchers on the Mountain today! Specifically, i
want to thank Brendan, Lionel, Bob D., Alex, and Becky. Without their
efforts, our numbers today(and thus our thrills), would be greatly reduced,
to say the least. With all of my heart, i thank you all...
Extensive passerine movement early in the day.

Weather:
Very light eastsoutheast or southeast wind with near 100% cloudy sky over
Bullhead Mountain. 40 km to the east in the foothills down the Blue Ridge
escarpment the sun lit up the landscape in the 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 hours EST
but none of the sunlight reached the ridge.
Raptor Observations:
In the 1 to 2 hour 39 Broad-winged Hawks, including kettles/streams from 5
to 12 birds each, passed along the ridge; and in the 2 to 3 hour 39 more
broadwings streamed and kettled in a 15-minute period.
Non-raptor Observations:
Formations of 17 and 3 cormorants passed over the saddle to the north in
different hours today. An Ovenbird joined the chorus of spring returnees
sernading the mountaintop.

Total observation time: 3.5 hours
Official Counter: Bruce Chilton
Observers:
Visitors:
None.
Weather:
Bright sun in a virtually cloudless sky. Light winds varying between SE and
W. Temp. rose from 17C to 22C during the period; humidity declined from
62.6 to 44.7; barometer dropped slightly from 30.21 to 30.14.
Raptor Observations:
One would expect that such ideal weather would bring a good number of
migrant raptors, especially since the broad-wings should be coming through
now. It was a great disappointment, then, to have only a few raptors today!
(Unless, of course, they were up in the stratosphere, beyond the reach of
my binoculars.) Braddock Bay had a very good day, and Beamer had a
reasonable showing also. Apparently the flight path did not include Hamburg
on this day.
Non-raptor Observations:
Not much; the usual flocks of blackbirds, etc.
Predictions:
Hopefully better!
