Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 13:00:00 Total observation time: 4 hours
Official Counter: Tom Bush
Observers: Bob Kelly
Visitors: Robin Queenan and Mike Gallagher
Weather: Beautiful. Nice NW winds, decent cloud cover, temperatures didn't get hot until after the watch, a perfect hawk watching day.
Raptor Observations: Finally got our first migrant, a Sharpie. Locals include two different CH, RT and some TV.
Non-raptor Observations: Birds were scarce, even local birds like robins, MODO and Northern Mockingbirds were low in number. The only fairly common bird were the Chimney Swifts.
Predictions: Tomorrow should be a nice weather day, good wind and clouds are predicted and temperatures not making 80F. Some of the NY and PA sites had Broad-wings today, so maybe we will get some tomorrow. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: bcdelco.org/activities/rose-tree-park-hawkwatch/
