A solid flight day on the ridge today ! Great to have almost our entire crew up top as the clear blue skies made spotting birds quite difficult. It was an all hands on deck kind of day !! Great job by all ! Sharpies streaming by us high and low.. left and right..kept us on our toes throughout the day ! Plenty of action from Coopers Hawks as well. Redtails and Red-shoulders letting us know that bigger flight days are just around the corner. Merlins blasting by are just amazing !! Somehow it's always the Golden Eagles that capture our attention and today's Bird of the Day selection goes to the 5:10pm immature Golden that came down ridge in gorgeous light. This crisply marked immie came in slowly and circled a few times for us before gliding down ridge. Just blew us away !
Non-raptor Observations: TV's- Many on the move Ravens-( a few carrying chunks of meat) throughout the day ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jim Thomson (<hawkinflight...>)
