Observation start time: 11:30:00 Observation end time: 16:00:00 Total observation time: 4.5 hours
Official Counter: Kate McKay
Observers: Chuck Carlson
Visitors: 32.
Weather: Rain and fog delayed the start of the count. Then it was partly sunny for a bit before switching to a highly variable cloud cover. A short shower at 2pm brought a beautiful rainbow over Crotched Mountain. Temperatures were in the forties, and wind was from the southwest.
Raptor Observations: Migrants consisted of a few sharpies, one adult Bald Eagle, and one Turkey Vulture. One of the sharpies was cautiously mobbing the Bald Eagle. Local red-tails were very active, often kiting right near Pack.
Non-raptor Observations: Other sightings included two Red-breasted Nuthatches, two chickadees, two Blue Jays, two robins, and two rabbits.
Predictions: Tomorrow looks partly sunny with more wind from the southwest. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Kate McKay (<northernjay444...>) Pack Monadnock Raptor Migration Observatory information may be found at: www.harriscenter.org
