The 1st Applegate/Williams raptor survey was accomplished today (12-29-13)
Distance traveled: 37.9 miles; Survey time: 3.5 hours
Weather: mostly overcast
Results:
Red-tailed Hawk - 18
American Kestrel - 3
Bald Eagle 2 (adult)
Red-shouldered Hawk - 2
Golden Eagle - 2
For those birders that are also coin collectors, it was a Double, double-eagle
day. Two Goldens was a treat. It wasn't birds that made the biggest
impression on me, but how dry the Applegate Valley is. About all of the small
farm ponds are either dry, or close to it,. Have seen more water in late
summer in the Applegate River then right now...it's pretty low.
