Visitors:
Great visits this morning on the hill. Matt S. returned with Utah resident
Matt W. for some birding before catching a flight home. Bob P. and Dirk R.
spent an hour up top. Jen W. made her first trip to Ashland, on a rare day
off from songbird banding at Kiptopeke State Park in VA. She stayed up all
day, helping spot birds and generally making good company. I was excited to
have my mom, Susan, and my 2.6-year-old niece, Ada, on the hill for her
first time this season. Ada had a great time drawing pictures on the
visitor sign-in sheet and playing with the monarch clicker. Sharon I. and
Frank made another welcome return to the hill today. Thanks to Bob S. for
bringing up the canopy cover, which was crucial on a day as hot as this.
(11 total)
Weather:
A heavy fog and mist for the first hour, breaking with the rising sun and
southerly winds. The day became very hot with a moderate bit of cloud
cover. Temps broke 90F.
Raptor Observations:
Hopefully the last of this weather system. Another slower day, though we
recorded a good falcon flight (2 ML, 13 AK) and a few more Northern
Harriers than usual (5). Birds were high, except for the early morning
Merlin, which circled graciously above our heads several times (at 34
meters, to be exact) before darting southward. Beautiful looks at that one!
Non-raptor Observations:
91 Monarchs. Better counts now, due to our new hand counter.
Predictions:
No longer expecting the ideal NW winds, but still much better than what
we've had. Depending on which weather report you read, we'll be either
getting West, or Southwest winds. Much cooler than today as well.
