Today was a very blustery day of counting raptors, with the wind gusting up
to 39mph, and temperatures (at Thompson Hill) just maxing out at the
freezing point. Despite the harsh conditions, some raptors did move through
the area. I counted 72 raptors today, which raised our season's total to
just over 4,500 raptors as of today :-)

I've added a few new photos to my 2011 spring raptor count gallery, which
can be found below:

One of the biggest highlights of the day was seeing a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK
diving on a distant NORTHERN GOSHAWK. It was nice to see a goshawk, as the
last one observed this spring was nearly two weeks ago. Here is a photo of a
Northern Goshawk taken at Hawk Ridge two years ago. Enjoy!
