Hello All,

Today was a good day at Derby Hill.  It was the third day of the
season with over 1,000 counted.  Todays total was 1,006.  Over 700
were Turkey Vultures and 100 were Red-tailed Hawks.  One nice
highlight for Red-tailed Hawks and the day was a Dark Morph, Western
bird that went by in the afternoon.  Last year on April 1st we had a
Dark Morph Western Red-tailed Hawk go by.  So it was kind of neat to
see another one just about a year later.  Only off by one day.

We also had several Common Loons fly over.  Then late in the day a
Glaucous Gull went by right along the bluff.  Anyways to see the
totals and the write up check my blog out at:
