The watch began in 1995, and the site is manned by volunteers from the Cecil Bird Club and other affiliated Clubs in the area. Generally counters are only present from ~ 9AM - 12 PM. Last year we had complete coverage, but it seems we may not have such good fortune this year. For more complete site information, including volunteering at the site, view www.udel.edu/cecilbirds Our weekend continued with a trend of very slow flights. When will it break loose......? Candi and Rick Lee counted 9/21 with discouraging E. winds, for 3 and 1/4 hrs: TV-5, OS-5, SS-13, AK- 1 , ME-1, and UF- 1 9/22, Leslie Fisher, Richard Donham , Marcia Watson counting, much the same trend with winds shifting from SE to SW, Eric Sprague out to visit for 2nd day with poor flights for his efforts! OS-3, AK-4, RT-1 , SS-4, and 2 immature Bald Eagles that we counted as resident.
