Folks,While y'all were viewing Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, and Rusty Blackbirds, we got out and did the two Yamhill County raptor routes -- yes, it's that season again.
We had to track the mileage and time spent on each road for the new format. Fortunately, Carol has a guy who likes to play with spreadsheets....
We saw:November 1, 2013 North Yamhill Co Route (McMinnville to Yamhill and back) 55 mi, 4 hrs
24 Red-tails 11 Kestrels 2 N. Harriers 1 TUNDRA SWAN (North Valley Rd.)November 2, 2013 Yamhill Co Route (McMinnville to Grand Island to Sheridan and back) 109 mi, 5:49 hrs
