Conditions look very good this Sunday and Monday for migrating Golden Eagles and other late season raptors at the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch near Oneonta, NY. Sunday's forecast is 10-20 mph northwest winds with a 15-20% chance of precipitation. Monday is similar WNW winds with a 30% chance of snow.
We have had a good string of GE flights over the past week, with five double-digit days. Red-tailed Hawks are overdue for a big day also. As always--be sure to dress warmly if you visit the hawkwatch, especially with northerly winds. More information and directions to the Franklin Mt. Hawkwatch can be found at www.doas.us/research/franklin-mountain-hawkwatch/. -- Andrew Mason 1039 Peck St. Jefferson, NY 12093 (607) 652-2162 andyma...@earthling.net -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
