Raptor Observations: BE- 12:44I
A slow day on the ridge today. Expected a bit more action with the WNW/NW winds. The good news is that I had great looks at the few raptors that were counted today. The day started with an Osprey that came in below eye level and tight to the ridge on the river side as I was putting up the owl pole. The Broadwings were also tight to the ridge as they cruised on past. My Bird of the Day selection goes to the adult male Kestrel that came in at treetop level directly at me until it veered to take a swipe at the owl decoy as it zipped down ridge. What a gorgeous bird !
