Today Ed Pike and Sue Stewart counted Raptors at Point LaBarbe. Tom Wasilewski from Pennsylvania stopped by and visited for the afternoon on his way to Hawk Ridge, Deluth, Minn. Overall it was an unexpectedly slow day. Although we did see several flocks of Athya (probably Redheads) flying east. The weather was nice with moderate winds and sunshine with temps in the mid- 60’s. Nice after those days of 80’s. Several “V”‘s of Canada Geese and Sandhill Cranes were seen moving south. Two Rudy Turnstones flew over the point headed south. The list is below
Turkey Vulture   12
N. Harrier         1
Sharp-shinned Hawk  12
Cooper’s Hawk      1
