After about a dozen birds lifting off, migrants were soon very high. Around noon EDT, a moderate southerly seabreeze kicked in and raptors - who were presumably passing too high overhead - were now visible again, and the pace of the count picked up. A few cumulus clouds moving in late in the day with an approaching cold front. Otherwise, we can only thank the layer of high, cirrus clouds for providing us with a backdrop for spotting birds. Winds in the upper levels were W to SW all day. Raptor Observations: A truly fantastic day, with lots of diversity and lots of excitement. After being shut out all season with ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, a shockingly late light-morph individual passed over the summit at about 10:30 EDT, providing fantastic views for the 3 observers present. Really, a remarkably late date for this species. A "huge" immature NORTHERN GOSHAWK circled low overhead in the middle of the afternoon, before gaining altitude and heading to the north. The local pair was also observed, with the female making a very close pass in the pm. 14 TURKEY VULTURES kettling very high, and very far to the south, were spotted in the late afternoon. 4-6 local TV's were in view at this time as well. The birds glided in our direction, passing by in a straight stream, before kettling up to our east. Birds then broke kettle, and disappeared to the north. Despite having not counted any TV's in about a month, I counted these birds. 15 minutes later, they returned from the north, passed back to the south, and then about half moved back north. TV's deleted from today's count, but some of these - if not all - were probably migrants. A SHARP-SHINNED HAWK at 4:18 EDT was our 3,500th raptor of the season. Non-raptor Observations: Fantastic day for non-raptor migrants as well, with a steady passerine flight through late morning. 50 species heard or seen from the summit today. Other birds deemed migrating: Double-crested Cormorant - 179 Unidentified Passerine - 83 Yellow-rumped Warbler - 81 Tree Swallow - 45 Red-winged Blackbird - 28 Purple Finch - 12 Barn Swallow - 9 Chimney Swift - 7 Common Grackle - 7 American Goldfinch - 7 Blue Jay - 6 Bobolink (First of year)- 6 Unidentified Icterid - 8 Canada Goose - 3 Great Blue Heron - 3 Northern Rough-winged Swallow -2 Black-throated Green Warbler - 2 Black-and-white Warbler - 2 Pine Siskin - 2 Cliff Swallow (First of year) - 1 Predictions: Sunny to mostly sunny skies, light to moderate W or SW. Warm. Seabreeze should be kept to a minimum. Looks good for hawks, but birds may be high again. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jeannette Lovitch (wildbirdcenter(AT)yarmouthbirds.com) BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.

Winds were light to moderate southeast varying to east in the morning becoming moderate southeast in the afternoon. Raptor Observations: Much of the early movement of the day was timed to the sunnier breaks with the flight, not surprisngly, becoming much steadier during the PM when the sun shone steady. There was an improvement in the overall movement of Buteos along with some good afternoon activity of Harriers and Kestrels. As usual, though, Sharpies dominated the day. Non-raptor Observations: New arrivals included Nashville Warbler and Northern Waterthrush. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Calvin Brennan (common_raven(AT)hotmail.com) Whitefish Point information may be found at: http://www.wpbo.org/ BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.
