Greenlaw Mountain Hawk Watch Counts

August 24, 2014

Osprey 3
Northern Harrier 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk 3
Broad-winged Hawk 8

Total: 15

Observation Period: 8:45AM-1:00PM

Weather: Hazy and warm with near calm conditions at the start followed by
light and variable wind becoming south after noon.

Notes: Less than ideal conditions only produced a few migrants. However, it
was good to be back on the mountain and see a few hawks. Most of this day's
migrating raptors were well to the north of the mountain. Resident raptors
included Merlin, American Kestrel, Osprey, Broad-winged Hawk, Bald Eagle
and Turkey Vulture. The skies over the watch were mostly quiet (due to near
calm conditions). Richard Tarn was a volunteer observer for much of the day.

Non-raptors: A few Common Nighthawk passed the watch along with a few
groups of swallows and lots of dragonflies.

Tomorrow: South winds through mid-week. No counts are planned. Cooler temps
and more favourable winds are likely for Thursday. A flight forecast will
be posted in 2 or 3 days. Volunteers will be needed.

More details on today's counts, as well as, monthly totals and season
totals can be found at hawkcount.org.

This project takes place on private land. Please contact the project
co-ordinator before visiting the site.

Primary support for this project comes from the New Brunswick Wildlife
Trust Fund. Additional support comes from individual donors and our
volunteers.
