Today we counted the most difficult 44 Broad-winged Hawks we ever got. We had a perfect setup - wind, clouds, temps - everything about today said we should be counting our heads off. But no such luck. Until about 4:00pm, we had seen 8 (2,2,2,2). The next hour dots, bullets and tinies streamed through SW along the path from the pole to above the house. Same as yesterday. But sooo few to see. (9:30 to 5:00) Attributing it possibly to the High Pressure System sitting out there, way too close.
44 Broad-winged Hawks
1 Sharpie
1 Red-Shouldered (on a mission!)
Visitors today were: Kent Dubois, Charles Murray, and Bill Haley.
Harold Birch was our saving grace this afternoon, and sharp-eyed finder. Thank you!!!!
Saw one Bald Eagle again today...going North. And counted 35 Monarch Butterflies. That number is way up. Hope we continue to see higher numbers.
See you tomorrow!
Jimmy and Cynthia Wilkerson
Keep Looking UP!!!!
