Joe Youngman and Max Henschell were at Brockway today to finish up preparations for the start of the count season (to begin this Monday 3/15!).
While only there for two hours, they tallied in:
Bald Eagle- 5
Northern Goshawk- 1
Golden Eagle- 2
A very exciting start for the season! Stay tuned, Max will be posting regular updates to the website every week of what is being seen at Brockway.
See you all on the Mountain.
Common Ravens make excellent watchdogs at Brockway. While most other species of raptors are generally ignored by the nesting pair of Ravens, they have a particular dislike for Golden Eagles. Often they spot a incoming Golden Eagle long before a birder does, and with a couple of harsh croaks, they fly up to "escort" the Golden past the bluff. This can be an excellent way to find a Golden Eagle on busy flight days!This photograph was taken by M.J. Shupe
