Our spring migration day tour at Braddock Bay near Rochester on 4/23
was a huge success. Covering the East Spit, Owl Trail, and Hawkwatch,
we turned up 61 species with many highlights. The raptor flight was
very impressive with many close looks (thanks to Luke Tiller for
doing an excellent and difficult job tracking the flight for
Braddock Bay Raptor Research).
Here's some of the highlights:
Common Loon - 10+
Ruddy Duck - 2
Turkey Vulture - 1000+
Osprey - 4
Bald Eagle - 15
Northern Harrier - 40+
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1000+
Northern Goshawk - 2
Broad-winged Hawk - 5000+
Red-tailed Hawk - 100+
Rough-legged Hawk - 10+
Golden Eagle - 2 immature
Merlin - 1
Northern Saw-whet Owl - 1
