Friday - 11th - Another day of beating the forecast - no rain until around 5 pm. Winds 5-20 from the south; warm temps, mostly cloudy to partly cloudy. The count was again at Malek Park in Conneaut all day. The movement was steady all day - no real breaks in the action. Strong late burst of Harriers, 4 and 5 at a time, resulted in new state high as far as we know. It was also the most Merlins I've seen in a day. Two other falcons were most probably Merlins but not close enough to count - 3 came right overhead - quite low. The Peregrine and the Goshawk also gave us really good looks. First Broadwings of the season. Lastly, we counted 25 Kingfishers migrating - fairly high, with the TVs and hawks. There were also 34 Great Blue Herons on the same flight paths as the raptors. 10 C. Loons, all singles, plus 7 Great Egrets. T. Vultures- 365 Osprey - 18 Bald Eagle - 3 N. Harrier - 75 Sharp-shinned - 164 Cooper's - 13 N. Goshawk - 1 Red-Shouldered - 15 Broad-winged - 5 Red-tailed - 39 Rough-legged - 2 Am. Kestrel - 116 Merlin -- 5 Peregrine - 1 Bruce Bruce Glick [log in to unmask] Millersburg, Ohio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
