[obol] Bend - Alfalfa Raptor Survey for December

[Kim Boddie]

Monday, December 18th I drove the Bend/alfalfa Survey Route.  It took 4.5 hours to cover the 74 miles.  Last year I was overlapping several miles with the Powell Butte Route so this year I eliminated the overlap and mad some changes to the route.  Temps. were between 21 and 35 degrees F. Winds were calm - 5MPH and the snow cover was 2"(west) 0"(east).

Raptors counted:
Red-tailed Hawk                64
American Kestrel               16
No. Harrier                            4
Rough-legged Hawk           5
Ferruginous Hawk               3
Prairie Falcon                      4

Total                                    96
