Migration Today:
Swainson's Hawks-2
Unidentified Raptors-2
Discussion:
Looking at past data we should have some nice migration stats for the beginning of April. 2003 had over 1,000 hawks in April; 2004 over 700 hawks; 2005, 2006 and 2007 over 200 hawks each year; 2008 over 300 hawks; 2011 well over 1,000 hawks. Only 2009 and 2013 had poor numbers for April.
The photo below shows how difficult it is to count during windy/sand blasting days.
Evening Watch:
Once again no apparent hawks at the evening watch.
Prediction:
The wind should die down tonight. We'll be monitoring with hope.
