Migration Today:
 |
| Subadult Golden Eagle |
Turkey Vultures-24
Discussion:
Calm wind for most of the morning, cool with some high clouds, sunny. Besides the migrants, Redtails and a Harrier were spotted hunting. A Golden Eagle sat on a telephone pole a few miles south of the watch. First lift-off was just before 9A from Roadrunner RV Park (TV's) and the Date Farm. The SW's roosted at the date farm. Most of the raptors moved west then North using updrafts along the mountains rather than thermals.
Evening Watch:
3 Swainson's Hawks descended into the date farm this evening.
Prediction for Tomorrow:
We have a wind advisory through tomorrow. Gusts to 60mph are possible. Any Swainson's in the valley will probably depart at sunup.
