Some TV's On The Move- March 1, 2013


Leader:
Herb Stone assisted by Rose Leong

Migration Today:
20 TV's
1 Red-tailed Hawk

Discussion:
Eight Turkey Vultures began to lift off at 9:15A from the Date Farm. A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk moved through at 10A. At 10:15A 12 TV's were spotted and streamed north. It looks like a few Swainson's Hawks are hanging around the valley. Some Grey-bird Grasshoppers have been spotted in the area. Perhaps the hawks have found some food. 

Evening Watch:
11 TV's
2 Swainson's Hawks-probably the same birds observed earlier in the day

Prediction:
Continued warm with light wind tomorrow. Expect the TV's to kettle up around 9A. Perhaps the Swainson's Hawks will make an appearance as well.
