The 19th was the slowest day I’ve had yet this season. I figured it would’ve been pretty decent, but I guess the west winds were too strong. It was actually a better day for waterbirds at the hawk watch than raptors. I had more Common Loons than any raptor species and also had 10 Gadwall and 4 American Wigeon fly by.
April 20th was rained out. Hopefully that means Friday will be productive for migrants.
