Not much to observe! Only five birds other than the locals.
Non-raptor Observations:
Today was the last day of a very successful Spring 2008 season. Much of
our success is thanks to the support of our wonderful observers and
volunteers. The diligence and hard work of the Ripley Hawk Watch crew has
assured accurate observations and an accurate count. In addition they made
it fun and rewarding. Thanks so much everyone!
Today, Jill and Berk Adams, Bill and Eileen Jowett, Mike Ceci and Jann
Randell helped with the count. Thanks, Mike and Eileen, for the picnic.
