Now that the tropical storm has passed, we can get back to hawkwatching! The raptor flight was slow today, with just 40 birds passing the platform this afternoon. However, there may be a slight delay in raptor movement following the bad weather. Hopefully the floodgates will open in the next few days.
Meanwhile, songbird activity has been busy in the pokeberry patch. Blue Grosbeaks (pictured below), Eastern Kingbirds, a Baltimore Oriole, and a Pine Warbler were among the visitors today. As migration picks up, this berry patch is likely to become a haven for many hungry migrants.
