Official Counter: Doug Lockrey
Observers: Brian Steele, Derek & Jennifer Lyon, Keith Sharp,
Rayfield Pye
Visitors:
12 bird-class visitors from ROM with Glen Coady
Weather:
westerly winds, 10C; TUV=100 ft./min.; steady BP
Observations:
the westerly winds did not invite the "temporarily resident" buteos to move
through; therefore, I counted a limited number of the hawks that were seen
throughout the 5 hours--2 TV, 3 Red-tailed, 5 Rough-legged and 1
low-flying bullet-bird MERLIN
1 N.Shrike, 1 E.Meadowlark, 1 House Finch, 2 Fox Sparrows, 2 Swamp
Sparrows, 20+ Bonaparte Gulls
