#Maine - #Hawkwatch on Bradbury Mountain: Daily through May 15

"Watch the spring migration of hawks from the top of #BradburyMountain beginning March 15, from 9 AM to 5 PM daily through May 15. Hawk Counters will share the joys of hawk watching as they make their observations and record species information. #HawkCounter Zane Baker is returning for his record 7th season! The Hawkwatch was initiated by Jeannette and Derek Lovitch in 2007 to quantify the extent and duration of the northbound raptor flight over Bradbury Mountain State Park. Daily counts of all raptor and vulture species are posted at the summit, submitted to the Hawk Migration Association of North America, and posted to the BIRDHAWK Listserv. For a quick but steep hike take the Summit Trail. For a 1-mile gentle ascent to the summit take the Northern Loop Trail." - Chris Silsbee, Manager of Bradbury Mt. State Park

From September 1 through November 30, I look forward to reading the daily summaries.

Today's Detroit River Hawk Watch summary report begins:

"When the Levante wind blows over the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gibraltar becomes a cloud producing machine.

The western side can go for days without seeing the sun.

Today felt like one of those days as we sat in a bowl of potage gris that seemed to thicken as the day progressed."

From mid-February to mid-April, dedicated citizen scientists in Borrego Springs, California rise each day before dawn to stand in a fallow field to witness and count the transit of Swainson’s Hawks, often thousands of raptors in a few hours.

The Swainson’s Hawk makes a 7000-mile migration from the pampas of Argentina to breeding grounds in North America, pausing for a night or two in this ancient desert to feast on grasshoppers before ascending on the thermals created by the dawn sun to continue their journey north. Most mornings large kettles of Swainsons (sometimes mingling with Turkey Vultures) sprial slowly into the air before disappearing over the Santa Rosa mountain range.

Now am calling on our #pasopacifico #raptor monitoring team at our #hawkwatch station to evacuate early tomorrow as a #TropicalDepression approaches Nicaragua. There will not be too many raptors flying through that and so its best to keep the team safe and dry. #tropicalwx

Good morning from the Luis Fernando Diaz #hawkwatch station in #Nicaragua. Millions of raptors and vultures migrate through here each fall. We aim to protect stopover sites and document the importance of this region for #raptors. #pasopacifico #conservation

Another year has passed since we lost our young colleague to Covid-19. We miss him very much but are grateful to be able to honor his memory through a #hawkwatch raptor monitoring station in his name. #Nicaragua #pasopacifico

Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool in dog training, but not all rewards are created equal. Understanding the difference between rewards and reinforcers is crucial for shaping desired behaviors effectively.
