[obol] Central Benton Raptor Run 2/19/08

[Marcia F. Cutler]

I conducted the Central Benton Raptor Run today with Rich Armstrong.  We
covered 64 miles between Finley NWR and the south edge of Corvallis in 3.8
hours.  Raptor sightings were for the most part very slow except for Refuge
Rd.   We saw 23 of the 67 raptors on this road.  Robins however were
extremely plentiful showing up in large numbers in almost every field.
Here's our totals:

 

Red-tailed Hawk: 24

American Kestrel: 14

Northern Harrier: 13

Bald Eagle: 2 adults

Rough-legged Hawk: 5

White-tailed Kite: 5 - possibly a new high 

Peregrine Falcon: 1 immature

Falcon, sp.: 1

Raptor, sp.: 1

Burrowing Owl: 1
