Note: Turkey Vultures are picking up again and for the third time this season, Cooper's outscored Sharpies with a score of 29 to 14, sound like a serious competition between these two birds, but Sharpies remain in higher numbers in season total. Second goshawk this season, an adult spotted at 12:17pm headed W (had an immature weeks ago). More Snow geese on the move (anybody in Eastern Shore should head up for any flyover of geese), still waiting for big flight of Canada Geese and even Blue Jay too. 10/10/00: Heavy overcast, few scattered drizzles, NW winds and temp in the upper 50's. 2 SS and 1 TV 1 Hermit Thrush, 1 Veery, 7 Blue Jay, 1 American Goldfinch, 4 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 4 Unidentified sparrow sp., 8 Canada Geese and still no Monarch (probably finish now) Both days total will appear in the season total tomorrow night.
