4/10

Cold, windy and turning rainy...need I say more? Despite this fact, some birds were on the move. Harriers turned in a pretty good show. I witnessed one hunt and catch a rodent down below my dune-top perch. It sat in the grass and ate a migratory lunch-on-the-run.

Raptors:
Northern Harrier: 8
Bald Eagle: 1
Osprey: 1 (first for my watch!)
Sharp-shinned Hawk: 1
Red-tailed Hawk: 2
Turkey Vulture: 10

Others:
Sandhill Crane: 1
Common Loon: 1
