The spring 2009 hawk watch season kicked off Sunday with just three raptors that were counted as migrants. As a warming trend set in, Monday was a little better with 13 raptors, and today - Tuesday - was better still, with 21 raptors representing 6 species. Best was a subadult
Golden Eagle, an immature female
Northern Goshawk, and adult male Gos, and thirteen
Bald Eagles, all adults. Interesting non-raptors today included 3
Evening Grosbeaks, a
Hoary Redpoll in the Common Redpoll flock at the feeders, 7
Bohemian Waxwings, and a female
Eastern Bluebird.
This is one of the Common Redpolls at the feeders in back of the Gift Shop.
