Today was a fun, but slightly slower-than-expected day of counting raptors.
The day's total came to 155 raptors, with two new-to-the-count passerines...
Double-crested Cormorant and a Belted Kingfisher! The Duluth count broke the
4,000-raptor count this year, as of today. Also, today is the first day of
this year's spring count where all 3 falcon species were observed in one
day! The totals from today can be found in the link below...

The weather conditions look like an exciting raptor migration is in store
for tomorrow. A cloudless sky (at least here in Duluth), plus SW winds
tomorrow means that birds are going to be migrating with a slight tail-wind.
Keep your eyes to the skies tomorrow :) I suspect that if anyone is in the
Ashland/Bayfield area, the raptor flights could be very good, as birds will
be pushed into the South Shore of Lake Superior!
