A slow but steady flight today which featured a nice push of 11 Northern Harriers, Bald Eagles, a Golden Eagle, and Peregrine Falcons. 5- Bald Eagles counted today but many more that were seen but not counted as migrating. The Bird(s) of the Day selection goes to the Coopers Hawk and Peregrine Falcon that were locked in battle as they headed down ridge with the Peregrine making several passes at the Coop along the way ! Awesome !
