Re: [cobirds] thanks to DFO and Dinosaur Ridge Hawk Watch for a great season

Carol had written "I don't know the numbers from past years..."

Anyone can see prior years' results from Dinosaur Ridge at

You can use the left sidebar to see either monthly results each year, and even daily results each and every season.

BTW, you can, on the same website, see results of hawk watches all over the country as well as Central and South America, not just in Spring but also in Fall.

In spring for example you can see the wave of raptors starting from South American sites, through Central America, and into the US and Canada.

I wanted to post a big thank you to DFO and the monitors at Dinosaur Ridge for a great season!  I look forward to the counts every day, and am always thrilled when I see the first Turkey Vultures returning.  To me, that's the start of Spring.  This season, I've been wondering which bird species would get the greatest number of migrants:  Red-tailed Hawks, American Kestrels, or Turkey vultures? I don't know the numbers from past years, but I was surprised that the AMKE (490) beat  out the RTHA (460) as of May 8. Thanks for the dedication of the monitors and the great reports.  Welcome all the migrants!
