Feb. 4, 2007 (Sunday) - 26th ANNUAL CYRIL K. COLDWELL EAGLES/RAPTORS COUNT OF EASTERN KINGšS COUNTY -- 32 people in 16-19 field parties sought and counted raptors from 10 to 11 a.m., and then most reported results to the Sheffield Mills Community Hall, where the EAGLE WATCH WEEKEND II was still going on. WEATHER was generally quite cooperative and appropriate. Temperature was -5 C., wind was light, and visibility for our hour was generally good, varying from sunny to brightly overcast (mostly the latter). Earlier and later in the day there were snow squalls, and there was nice fresh snow on the trees and ground. After everyone reported their results, I added them up, and here are the totals: 427 Bald Eagles (222 adults, 203 immatures, 2 not aged); 58 Red-tailed Hawks, ***including the partial albino at Hortonville; 3 Rough-legged Hawks; 1 prob. Sharp-shinned Hawk (a large one with long tail -- Peter Hope); 1 Barred Owl. Non-raptors reported were 500 Canada Geese, and 40 Horned Larks. More details will be reported later.
