All Time Record Tied! - Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Well this season just keeps getting better and better. The all time record at Entiat of 26 banded was set by the Ladies Tea and Trapping Society last year on Wednesdy, September 27. Today, Pat Little and Dalene Keith tied that record. And they pulled it off with just the 2 of them.

They report that the hawks came in fairly steady throughout the day. The weather was classic late summer; hot with very little wind.

The most interesting observation of the day, #5 on the obs sheet, was a Bobcat. Dalene saw it peering up over the rock cliff on the west side of the set. It was gone before they could get a photo of it.

Ray Cruz and his friend Carl banded 1 HY RTHA at a location they have set up about 1/2 mile up ridge from the main blind.

Raptors banded:

8 HY male SSHA
13 HY female SSHA
1 ASY female SSHA
3 ASY female COHA
1 HY male AMKE

22 SSHA in one day is a record. This puts us up over last year again with a total of 157. I will get the graph posted later.

Great job you two!
