I visited Hawk Ridge for about two hours this morning, and did not see any raptors "early" in the day (between 9am and 11am). Raptor migration tends to be more focused in late morning and the early/mid afternoon hours as the raptor migration comes to a close in late November. There were some fun songbirds moving through this morning. My eBird list from enjoying Summit Ledges this morning is below...
Hairy Woodpecker 1 Pileated Woodpecker 2 Northern Shrike 1 Common Raven 1 Black-capped Chickadee 5 Red-breasted Nuthatch 1 Snow Bunting 1 Red Crossbill 6 Common Redpoll 13 Below are some photos that I took this morning. Enjoy!
