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. ( Acutally, we have only missed a few days thus far, ) For more complete site information, including volunteering at the site, contact me at gonbrdn@dol.net Catching up on some past weeks data, there were several decent flights, with Red-tails continuing to come through. 11/ 23 was particularly good for BALD EAGLE, with 11 coming through. The occasional Red-shouldered were tallied as well. 11/29: Bill and Maryjo Collins tallied 59 from 0800- 1300, this day being our last significant count for Sharpies: TV-1,BE-1,NH-1,,SS-16,CH-2,RS-2,RT-34,UB-2 CAndi Lee counted some afternoon hours on 11/ 21 from 1230-1430, SE wind: BV-1,TV-3,BE-2,SS-1,CH-1,,RS-4,RT-6, AK-1 ( 23 ) Another decent flight occured on 11/23, with the Lees, Parke John and Charlie Gant recording 68 from 0900 to 1200, NW wind: TV-12, BE-11, SS-11, RS-1, RT-38 ( 68 ) 12 raptors came through on 11/24 but an attachment was missing so no further info than that, and to best of my knowledge, there was no count on 11/25.
