A Few Migrants Still Coming Through-Tuesday April 1, 2014

Leader:
Joe

Migration Today:
Swainson's Hawks-12
Turkey Vultures-1

Discussion:
Despite the lack of birds yesterday evening, 12 Swainson's Hawks migrated today. As the season winds down, some SW's will continue to migrate. The optimistic view would suggest that in the past we have had some days with a few hundred SW's in April.

Evening Watch:
Once again no apparent migration into the valley this evening.

Prediction:
Wind should be picking up again tomorrow. No prospects for migration but a late arrival this evening might have been missed.
