Official Counter: Gil Randell
Observers: Gil Randell
Visitors:
LaPearl Haynes and Paige Woodbury
Weather:
Warm temperatures but the strong southwesterly winds making it very chilly
by the lake shore. Intermittent rain showers thoughout the day.
Raptor Observations:
A fun day with very good looks at good birds - a twelve species day. Most
birds were identifiable without binoculars. The merlin shot through below
eye level. Good numbers of ospreys, sharpies, and harriers and a super
look at a peregrine directly overhead within 200 metres. A promising
increase in the number of broadwings with most still adults: more
broadwings still to come? Intermittent showers slowed the flight only
briefly.
Non-raptor Observations:
Several snipe and a continuation of the bluejay stream.
Eileen and Bill Jowett, Tom Wasilewski and Jann Randell helped with the
count.
Predictions:
Weather similar to today: showers likely and fairly warm southerly winds.
Once again, more birds between the showers?

Visitors:
Awesome spotting by Derek L., Bob D., and Tom D.; thanks to all. An extra
thanks to Bob and Tom for hanging around in the quite-chilly temps of the
afternoon.
We had an awesome visit from Mr. Richardson's 4th grade class. These
enthusiastic Hawkwatchers are from the Merriconeag Waldorf School.
Not only are these way-cool young folks excellent Hawkwatchers; they are
also very talented artists! They presented me with a beautiful card,
adorned with drawings of fantastic real-life Raptors! Many are drawings of
some of my favorite Raptors, and also of Raptor families. Other drawings
are of Birds, that I one day hope to see. Simply awesome! Thanks with all
my heart; and all of you hurry back to see us, please...
Weather:
Comfy temps early; a little chilly later in the day due to the winds off
the Ocean. Good clouds 2nd half of day, but Birds were probably shut down
South of us by then.
Raptor Observations:
A local Cooper's Hawk in a dramatic full stoop - incredible!
A resident Red-tailed Hawk parachuting right in front of Bradbury Mountain
- awesome! This Bird came up empty-taloned, only to be harrassed by a pair
of American Crows! Such is life at the top of the food chain...
Non-raptor Observations:
Pine and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Blue-headed Vireos, Dark-eyed Juncos, and
Chipping Sparrows, all very active around Site.

First of Season: 6 Baltimore Orioles, 2 White-crowned Sparrows, and 4

Predictions:
Unstable air mass in the area, and the speed with which it clears on
Saturday will determine the warmth and flight conditions. Therefore it is
hard to say what will be airborne tomorrow. Another good day for
non-raptors is likely. Check the weather forecasts on Saturday morning.

Weather:
Overcast conditions dominated the weather today along with occasional
drizzle and rain. Winds were light easterly becoming moderate southeast in
the afternoon.
Raptor Observations:
There was a very good early movement of birds, perhaps surprising given the
conditions. Sharp-shins dominated the flight overall but highlighted by one
of the few adult Northern Goshawks noted this season. After some midday
showers, there was very little addition movement for the balance of the day
even though skies were dry overhead.
Non-raptor Observations:
Shorebirds represented much of the new arrivals today including both
Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher and Piping Plover.

None
Weather:
A cloudy day with variable winds starting from south east, switching to
west, then north and finally to the south. Hard rain occured at 12:45.
Raptor Observations:
A sparce day raptor wise (only 17). I started at the ball park where the
birds were extremely high and moved to the cemetery when the wind shifted
to the west and north and where the birds were visible with the naked eye.
The rain ended the "flight".
Non-raptor Observations:
Several migrating flocks of mixed blackbirds, a very high Great Blue Heron,
a boistrous Red-bellied Woodpecker calling from the woods south of the
ballfields and the usual Killdeers.
Predictions:
A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers and possibly a
thunderstorm after 11am. High near 70. Southwest wind between 6 and 14 mph.
Chance of precipitation is 90%.
