[obol] ECBC Green Ridge Raptor Migration Site.

[Kim Boddie]

This morning I went up to the ECBE Green Ridge Raptor Migration Site to reflag and brush out the trail.  After I finished, I spent 2 hours 10:30 - 12:30 sitting at the site.  The migration is on. I saw 11 raptors, 13 TVs, and 2 Ravens all heading south.  There was a good stiff wind coming up out of the Metolius Canyon and the birds were moving by without moving a wing.
Birds seen:  Red-tail Hawk - 2; Unid. Buteos - 3;  Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1; Osprey - 3; Bald Eagle - 1; Am. Kestrel - 1; TV - 13; Common Raven - 2.

The gravel portion of the road is good if you don't mind a little washboard.  IF anyone out there wants directions to the site, send me a message or give me a call.  Karen Sharples will be sending out info on our official ECBC count weekends soon.
