Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms out there! Weather: Nice temps most of day, with a chilly seabreeze late in day. Virtually zero cloud cover. Raptor Observations: First off, a correction: in my 5/10 post, i stated that i observed the Swallow-tailed Kite at 5:05pm Maine time. The correct Maine/Eastern time was 4:05pm. Sorry for the confusion. Now for 5/11: last Bird counted was an adult male Northern Harrier. What an awesome Bird! Three more immature Bald Eagles moving North - including a point-blank look at a Basic II Bird. Excellent! Non-raptor Observations: Nice Warbler activity around Site. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jeannette Lovitch (wildbirdcenter(AT)yarmouthbirds.com) BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.

Overcast and chilly. Raptor Observations: A slow day with a few good looks at a late-in-the-season rough-leg, peregrine falcon, some ospreys and a lone broadwing. Two local bald eagles disappeared to the southwest, directly through the area proposed for another wind turbine project. Non-raptor Observations: Berk and Jill Adams helped with the count. Where was Tom for the record turkey vulture count? Our total number of turkey vultures for 2008 surpassed the previous record of 12,091 TV's set in 2006. Our eight birds today gave us 12,092 TV's for the year. On to greater heights this week? Predictions: Tomorrow is here (we're late entering) and its cold, damp and not very promising. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Gilbert Randell (janngil(AT)cecomet.net) BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.

Raptor Observations: 8 migrants at the beginning of the fourth hour. Non-raptor Observations: Very little activity. Predictions: Sunny, with a high near 68. West wind between 3 and 6 mph. Has to be better than today! Migrants are perhaps held up by the active storm systems that have been hitting the south and mid-Atlantic for a number of days. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jim Landau (kjlandau(AT)localnet.com) Directions to site: Lakeside Memorial Park in Hamburg, NY. is located about 12 miles southwest of Buffalo, NY at the Hamburg Exit 57 of the NY State Thruway.

The entrance to Lakeside Memorial Park is on the left, less than 1/4 mile from the light. The watch is normally conducted half way between the entrance and the woods. An alternate site for easterly wind flights is at the William Williams Ball Park, located on Rogers Rd. Take Route 20 south from Camp Rd. one traffic light and turn right till just before the railroad crossing.
