On Friday, I manned the hawk tower from 0820-1500. Winds were out of the NE
to N all day but light. Evidently, not light enough as almost no raptors
were moving along the lake front. All migrant raptors observed were well
south of the tower except for the Merlin which was right to the north of the
tower. Below is the list of what was observed from the tower during that
time period.
In addition, an adult male Yellow-headed Blackbird was observed singing (if
you can call what comes out of their mouth a song) in the grasses to the
east of the bridge along the causeway around 0800.
