Sept. 9th Report:
Osprey 1
Bill's email:
Jim Rowell manned the lookout from 8:00-3:00. Bill Haley was there from 1:00-4:30. Sky was clear with a maximum of 5% clouds all day. Very few of the clouds lasted more than 5-10 minutes before disappearing. It was a brutal blue sky, "needle in a very large haystack" kind of day. Temperature ranged from 63 to 80 degrees. There was a nice breeze all day of 5-10 mph, which started from NNW and shifted around to S by the end of the afternoon.

This report is short and sweet:
Osprey (1) 1:37 going south. It was seen at an extreme distance while I was watching a 4th year eagle fly north. Something about the speck, possibly a hint of an M shape, made me tell Jim I thought it might be an Osprey. It glided down the valley, still at very long distance. Finally it turned and circled briefly, allowing us to confirm the ID. It was the only migrant of the day.
Four Bald Eagles seen, 3 adults (probably same ones seen yesterday) and a 4th year bird with mostly dark body, which was starting to get the white head and tail.
reporting: Bill Haley
Jimmy is saving his strength for the last two weeks of the watch. We really are thankful for the hours Jim and Bill are putting in during the early days of the watch.
Keep Looking Up!!!
