Migration: Raptors / Spring
The Peregrine Chick:
We are finally hitting some real numbers for migrating raptors ....
At the Ancon Hill Spring Hawkwatch in Panama City, Panama
Mar 12 - 1,965 turkey vultures + 95 broad-winged hawks
Mar 13 - 408 turkey vultures + 54 broad-winged hawks
Mar 14 - 1,171 turkey vultures + 0 broad-winged hawks
Mar 15 - 1,231 turkey vultures + 3,682 broad-winged hawks
Migration sites also note non-migratory raptor species observed and non-raptor observations - in the case of Ancon Hill (which is a lookout from which you can see the Panama Canal) tourists are included in the non-raptor observations category (really!) :D
Kinderchick:
Looks like we do have a "keener" afterall, if that's Ivy who has returned to the downtown! 8)
The Peregrine Chick:
More birds coming through but not fast, pretty much the same old, same old.
One more peregrine sighting, this time at Tussey Mountain in Pennsylvania ...

Well, talons crossed that some of ours will be the "keeners"! ;)
The Peregrine Chick:
We had a second Peregrine turn up - this time at a hawkwatach site in New York state, so definitely not the same bird identified in Colorado on the 4th. Colorado has racked up another 3 if not 4 Prairie Falcons though ... Only a very few more Merlins and American Kestrels reported from sites right across the US. Doesn't really look like the falcons are on the move, just a few "keeners" perhaps? Guess we will have to see what happens over the next week ...
