Count Update: Songbirds on the move! The first 10 days of September have been exceptional for non-raptor flights at Hawk Ridge. Some highlights have included three days of 2000+ warblers (Sep 1, 2, 9), as well as two days of 100+ Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (Sep 1, 9)!! These morning flights have kept counters busy, and some foggy days in between allowed for much needed rest. Songbird diversity is changing by the day, so make sure to do some warbler-watching this week. In the first week and a half, nearly 6,000 raptors have been counted, including our first day of 1,000+ on September 6th! Sharp-shinned Hawks are really on the move, with hundreds counted daily, and Broad-winged Hawks should be picking up soon. Hope to see you at the ridge!
