Today just goes to show, that we don't always know why there are some days when we get a lot of hawks, and some days when we get few. We do know that there is a peak towards the end of September. We are pretty much guaranteed of high count days if the weather is even half way cooperating. But for a day like today where the weather seems perfect, who knows?
Mark Gleason reports clear skies and very little wind. They only saw 16 and they banded 4. This brings our total for the year to 92. They did enjoy a Peregrine that came in close and teased them for awhile.
Raptors banded:
