Observers: Gil Randell, Terry Mahoney
Weather:
A lovely spring day with cool northerly breezes and mostly clear skies. A
beautiful day for sitting in McGuinn's vineyard overlooking Lake Erie - but
not so attractive to the raptors.
Raptor Observations:
Three sightings of non-migratory bald eagles. Local harrier and other
local raptors. The few migrating raptors used the updraft on the
escarpment. The third day in a row of little raptor migration.
Non-raptor Observations:
Rose-breasted grosbeak, yellow-throated vireo, woodthrush, baltimore
orioles.
Predictions:
Strong, warm southeasterly winds. Chance of showers in the afternoon. A
promising day for migrants.

Visitors:
21 in total. A special thanks to Alan McKelvy. Alan came to the Mountain on
some of our coldest days - and he always brought hot coffee! Alan is an
excellent spotter; thank you for everything, my Friend...
Weather:
Strong winds from the North and East, all day. Comfy temps, and once again,
plenty of clouds.
Raptor Observations:
You could have knocked me over with a feather - pun intended. After
counting 7 Birds in the first 7 hours; there it was as i scanned, at about
5:05(Maine time). A Swallow-tailed Kite!! Yes, you read it right! I knew
there was an outside chance of course, but i obviously did not expect it.
Approximately 1 mile south of me(in line with Cousin's Island Power Plant),
this beautiful adult Bird drifted South while circling up, until i lost it
in some haze. I have seen at least 300 of these awesome Kites, but seeing
this one in Maine just floors me... WOW... Bradbury Mountain rocks!!
Later, while scanning towards the South again, i picked up a Peregrine
Falcon moving from East to West along the coast. A few minutes later, i
picked up a Peregrine in the West(almost certainly the same Bird)and
watched it motor South towards the coast. I did not count this Bird, as it
did not move North; but it was way cool to watch this Falcon fly!
Non-raptor Observations:
On my walk to Bradbury Mountain State Park, i saw (and heard sing)a
Chestnut-sided Warbler(male). Excellent! Just a couple of minutes later, i
saw an adult male Bobolink chase another adult male Bobolink out of it's
territory. This was after watching the defending male perched, for about 30
glorious seconds. Awesome!

Weather:
Mostly sunny skies were seen today with some high cirrus cloud cover. Winds
were light to moderate north-northwest becoming light north by the end of
the day.
Raptor Observations:
Another very good day was recorded in terms of diversity, similar to the
last couple of days but with the somewhat lighter winds, some of the
kettles were within good viewing distance of the platform.
