Thank you for the good company and spotting assistance! Weather: It rained throughout the morning, but cleared and quickly became a beautiful day this afternoon. Moderate winds were mainly from the east southeast, with temperatures in the sixties and seventies. This afternoon, mostly cloudy skies hung on for a few hours, but skies became mostly sunny in the evening. Raptor Observations: When most of the clouds cleared out this evening, there was an excellent late day flight of broad-wings and Bald Eagles. Broad-wings suddenly began thermalling up and passing in large numbers. Most of the birds were low, with an incredible 31 Bald Eagles passing in the span of a single hour from 4-5 pm EST! A few adult red-tails seemed clearly to be migrating; perhaps these were birds that did not nest this year. Non-raptor Observations: 32 Common Nighthawks passed this evening. Predictions: Rain is currently predicted for most of tomorrow, but keep an eye on the forecast and radar to see how it changes. Moderate south southeasterly winds bode well for migration if we have breaks or a sudden end to the rain. If this were to happen, we could have another large flight similar to the one that occurred today. Fingers crossed! Temperatures will be in the sixties. ======================================================================= Report submitted by Anna Stunkel () Derby Hill Bird Observatory information may be found at: http://onondagaaudubon.com/derby-hill-bird-observatory/ --b1_2da7145df3bbb51cd453a65f4b41c371 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><b>Derby Hill Bird Observatory</b><br>Mexico, New York, USA<br><br><table border="1"><tr><td colspan="4" bgcolor="c0c0e0"><b>Daily Raptor Counts: </b>May 29, 2017</td></tr><tr><td><b><font color="2020c0">Species</font></b></td><td><font color="2020c0">Day's Count</font></td><td><font color="2020c0">Month Total</font></td><td><font color="2020c0">Season Total</font></td></tr><tr><td>Black Vulture</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">6</td></tr> <tr><td>Turkey Vulture</td><td align="right">17</td><td align="right">1848</td><td align="right">25883</td></tr> <tr><td>Osprey</td><td align="right">5</td><td align="right">152</td><td align="right">434</td></tr> <tr><td>Bald Eagle</td><td align="right">70</td><td align="right">490</td><td align="right">868</td></tr> <tr><td>Northern Harrier</td><td align="right">4</td><td align="right">133</td><td align="right">621</td></tr> <tr><td>Sharp-shinned Hawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">1635</td><td align="right">4273</td></tr> <tr><td>Cooper's Hawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">13</td><td align="right">339</td></tr> <tr><td>Northern Goshawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">3</td><td align="right">10</td></tr> <tr><td>Red-shouldered Hawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">3</td><td align="right">806</td></tr> <tr><td>Broad-winged Hawk</td><td align="right">1306</td><td align="right">6577</td><td align="right">28877</td></tr> <tr><td>Red-tailed Hawk</td><td align="right">16</td><td align="right">352</td><td align="right">3910</td></tr> <tr><td>Rough-legged Hawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">6</td><td align="right">135</td></tr> <tr><td>Golden Eagle</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">2</td><td align="right">39</td></tr> <tr><td>American Kestrel</td><td align="right">1</td><td align="right">25</td><td align="right">501</td></tr> <tr><td>Merlin</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">12</td><td align="right">81</td></tr> <tr><td>Peregrine Falcon</td><td align="right">1</td><td align="right">14</td><td align="right">27</td></tr> <tr><td>Unknown Accipiter</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">6</td></tr> <tr><td>Unknown Buteo</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">9</td></tr> <tr><td>Unknown Falcon</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">6</td></tr> <tr><td>Unknown Eagle</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">1</td></tr> <tr><td>Unknown Raptor</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">2</td><td align="right">11</td></tr> <tr><td>Swainson's Hawk</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">0</td><td align="right">5</td></tr> <tr><td><b><font color="c02020">Total:</font></b></td><td align="right"><font color="c02020">1420</font></td><td align="right"><font color="c02020">11267</font></td><td align="right"><font color="c02020">66848</font></td></tr></table><br><br><table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"><tr><td>Observation start time: </td><td>12:00:00 </td></tr><tr><td>Observation end time: </td><td>18:00:00 </td></tr><tr><td>Total observation time: </td><td>6 hours</td></tr><tr><td>Official Counter</td><td>Anna Stunkel</td></tr><tr><td>Observers: </td><td>Kevin McGann, Mike Tetlow</td></tr></table><br><br><br><b>Visitors:</b><br>Fourteen.
