I joined Lowell Franks yesterday on his ECAS Fort Rock Raptor Survey. We were
under cloudy skies with light to calm winds and temps. ranging from 20 - 39
degrees F. We had a fun day counting 135 raptors from 10 species. Red-tails,
Rough-legged and Bald Eagles were the dominate species. We could not relocate
the Redpolls we found yesterday but we did find 3 N. Shrikes, a herd of 100+
Elk, and lots and lots of Robins with a Merlin watching them in one field.
We counted:
Red-tailed Hawk - 59 American Kestrel -
2 Bald Eagle - 16A, 8S
Golden Eagle - 6 Rough-legged Hawk -
32 Ferruginous Hawk - 5
Prairie Falcon - 4 Merlin - 1
Cooper's Hawk - 1
Unid. Buteo - 2 Great Horned Owl
