Total observation time: 12 hours
Official Counter: Craig Jackson
Observers: Bob Secatore, Fay Vale, Peter Vale, Sue McGrath, Ted Mara,
Tim Factor, Tom Graham
Visitors:
Many visitors, Susan Lee and Tom Wetmore among them stopped and watched for
a short time. Other visitors stopped and then got more involved and stayed
longer than 1/2 hour, so became observers.
Weather:
Strong (3-4) NW-NNW all day; almost no cloud cover all day; 14-25°C
Raptor Observations:
Very good flight -- 2nd best this year. 89 total birds, with 74 kestrels,
8 sharp-shinned hawks, 5 merlins, and 3 Peregrines. Most birds flying low
-very low with SS hawks nearly hugging the ground, with several almost at
our feet. Of identifiable kestrels I would say more than 2/3 were male.
Over 2/3 of kestrels seen going up dune side esecially in morning.
Several resident harriers, osprey, and turkey vulture noted
Non-raptor Observations:
Best non-raptor was a Tricolored Heron, flying out to sea very late in the
day. About 70 Grackles migrating as well as numbers of golfinch, but
aalmost no cormorants. Singing brown thrasher, territorial killdeer and
numerous savannah sparrows near watch site
Predictions:
Winds will be less strong, so should continue but fewer birds

A somewhat disappointing day. Practically no flight for the first three
hours, then a modest flight for the final hours of the watch. One
non-migratory adult bald eagle.

a flight.

24 in total.
Weather:
Very nice day - up until the last 2 hours, that is. The winds got quite
strong and very chilly; but an excellent day up until those last 2 hours.
Raptor Observations:
Sharp-shinned Hawks gave Broad-winged Hawks quite a battle; Broad-wings
prevailing 27 to 25. A missed field-goal at the end of regulation, kept the
Sharpies from victory.
Birds of the day however, were 3 Merlins which appeared within 10 minutes
of each other. Awesome!
Also, an immie Bald Eagle which almost sneaked through, at a very high
altitude(too high to precisely age); but another excellent spot by Brendan.
Non-raptor Observations:
Nice Blue-headed Vireo action around the site. And a very enjoyable flyover
by a Pileated Woodpecker.
Also, some serious flyover action by Double-crested Cormorants.
