This morning's fog hung on until late in the day. We drove west and found the dense cloud cover continued beyond our ability to wait it out. After seeing no raptors for a couple of hours, we headed home. The sun broke through for a couple of hours late in the day, and we couldn't get back up. We did add Bluebirds to our commons list while we were there. (Were wondering where they were.) Hummers still streamed through at a steady rate, even through the fog.
Jimmy found our mascot. Yay!! Mr Owl had blown over the edge of the ridge. It was below the south end pine in the weeds, and the pole was buried in grass. So he is proudly standing once more, and driving the poor Carolina Wrens crazy!
Virginia hawk sites are reporting counts at 1000-2000 BW's today. Hawk Mtn., way North-east of us 896, I think. So, we are thinking tomorrow has a great opportunity to produce larger kettles than what we've seen. Great expectations, and we hope to have a little help.
Looking forward to reporting to you tomorrow!
Keep Looking UP!!!
