Observation start time: 08:30:00

Official Counter: Forrest Rowland
Observers: Diane Kane, Kim Walke, Susan Gruver
Weather:
A bit hotter today than yesterday, with light to moderate winds
predominantly out of the ESE in the morning, shifting more southerly by
early afternoon. High temp in the shade was logged at 32C.
Raptor Observations:
First Kestrel of the season! First Cooper's Hawk of the season! Other than
those two, fairly quiet.
Non-raptor Observations:
Some good birds were around today, despite the relative lack of raptors.
Sandwich Terns were definitely around, with 3 being seen at some distance
in the morning, then 1 coming right over the platform in the afternoon. A
pair of Least Tern zipped by in the morning, and a very cooperative Lesser
Black-backed Gull (adult) sat next to a GBBG for about 10 minutes. A Summer
Tanager put in an appearance in the same tree the Blue Grosbeak pair has
been frequenting. Last but not least, a total of 5 Brown Pelicans were
spotted from the platform, as well. Dolphin show continues...
Predictions:
More SE winds (booooo)becoming easterly in the afternoon. Some
afternoon/evening precipitation expected.

Along the Appalachian Trail on the Kittatinny Ridge
(Blue Mountain), bordering Lehigh & Carbon Counties, Pa. Staffed by
members of Wildlife Information Center/Lehigh Gap Nature Center.
lgnc(AT)ptd.net

Excellent diversity. Once again we had 5 Red-shouldered Hawks in the sky
simultaneously. A migrating adult Red-shouldered Hawk was given the
business by our 2 resident adults. We also have 2 local immie
Red-shouldered Hawks, and they were watching and learning from a higher
altitude. The vocalizations were quite intense. In fact, we had 2 Eastern
Screech-Owls respond in kind to the calls of the Buteos. Very awesome!
Our 3rd White-tailed Kite of the Season. Yesssss!!! Great teamwork by Libby
and Bob on this excellent Raptor.
Speaking of great teamwork, very strong efforts put forth by Leslie and
James, as well as by Libby and Bob. The early skies were difficult, but we
were able to find some birds anyway. And the Mississippi Kites just kept on
coming...
Four American Kestrels. I am sure the dragonflies were quite happy when 3
of these fantastic falcons went on through. We had 1 female kestrel act
like she might stick around. We have had a wintering female kestrel each of
the 4 seasons I have done at Hazel. It looks like we will probably make it
5 in a row (at least we hope!).
Nice flights of Anhingas, American White Pelicans, Wood Storks, and
Dickcissels. We also had several Baltimore Orioles and an adult male Indigo
Bunting.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but I will say it anyway:
Hazel Rocks!
Dane
----------------------------------
Thanks, Dane! You can never say it enough, Hazel really does rock! Warblers
and hummingbirds are starting to show up all over the area. What fun to
wearily head home after a long day at work, only to see one of those perky
little birds dart in front of one's path to catch a quick bug.
