[obol] 3rd Applegate-Williams raptor survey (JoCo)

[Dennis P. Vroman]

The 3nd Applegate-Williams area raptor survey was completed today (03-08-07).  Route is along the roads surrounding the towns of Murphy and Williams, Josephine Co.  Was unable to do a February survey for various reasons.

Total of 36.9 miles; 3.75 hours; weather:  Partly cloudy/overcast.  Found were:

Red-tailed Hawk - 16 (some pairs, in air and perched)
American Kestrel - 2
Prairie Falcon - 1
Merlin - 1

Others:  TURKEY VULTURE - 8

Way less diversity this time out; NO Red-shouldered Hawk or White-tailed Kites detected.  As in another message, a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE was found.
Lots of Tree Swallows around now.  OAK TITMOUSE singing near Williams.
