The watch began in 1994. Another 100+ flight day with clear blue sky and NW winds, from 8 AM to noon, counter C. Lee, C. Gant, R. Donham, and P. and D. Quin. Total raptors 127, many very high today. Sharpie count is dropping as Red-tail and Red-shoulder increase. BV- 3 TV- 21 BE- 2 NH- 3 SS- 10 CH- 4 RS- 22 RT- 61 PG- 1 Seasonal total is missing data from the days of Oct. 23, 24 and 26, so total of 3,819 for season should be definitely over 4,000, as we have not had a count day under 100 since 10/24, when there were 98 counted. 194 count hours gives per hour count of 19.6, using the 3,819 total.
