Max,

Thanks for your diligent efforts this spring. I know first hand that it can be a very challenging job — physically and mentally. You have significantly increased our knowledge of Keweenaw hawk migration, and I’ve really enjoyed the posts and photos.

Sounds like you’re about 21 hours from heavy drinking at the Mariner.

Nice job, Max– and Skye. Nice to meet both of you.

And thanks for the many updates, posts, photos.

I love the raven picture and the description of them as “like funny looking chickens.”

At least there is an upside to migration tapering off, which is that it looks like we will not be missing much by ending the count period on June 15th. And who knows, maybe there is another surprise or two yet to come.

Yo- Ryne took a look, and also thought Baskettail, but he said (without looking at a guide) it could be a Beaverpond Baskettail

I saw lots of dragonflies at the Peshekee Grade on Sunday, including one I photographed that turned out to be a Harlequin Darner–a rare species, apparently. I’ve seen nothing like the amazing dragonfly flight you had at Brockway though. It’s neat to read about some of these quirky little things that happen on the mountain.

Big Dragonfly thing going on at Seney NWR today as well. I only saw 1-2 4-spotted Skimmers, the majority appeared to be chalk-fronted corporals, and a few different kinds of darners.

Be patient- I still think you will get a kite before the season is out.

Great to hear that there are still a lot of Broad-wings coming through, and I’m really surprised by the immature eagles. I didn’t expect that.

We’re almost at the finish line, Max. Seems like it’s gone by fast. Not sure if it feels that way to you, though.
