Howdy folks,
The count was alright today, about 200 raptors passed by today, mostly BROAD-WINGED HAWKS, but a NORTHERN GOSHAWK and 4 COOPER’S HAWKS was nice to see. Non-raptors were were plentiful and a few species of warblers were heard from the ridge including MYRTLE, PALM, OVENBIRD, NASHVILLE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, and PARULA.
A couple of open-country birds were a bit lost in the forested country of the Keweenaw, but apparently the grassy top of Brockway provided enough of a refugia that a BOBOLINK, 2 BREWER’S BLACKBIRDS and a UPLAND SANDPIPER stopped by briefly.
