September 3 [Day 10] Again the wind was mainly westerly all day with slightly less velocity than yesterday. The temperature rose to a season high 22.5C and again cirrus, cirrostratus and minor cumulus cloud made viewing pleasant. The passage of 2 American Kestrels and a Sharp-shinned Hawk before 0810 gave promise of a good day, but the fourth migrant didn’t appear until 1232. After 1300 the pace picked up and especially between 1500 and 1700, when 15 birds moved, there was the first sign of a concerted migration. The total of 26 is the highest so far this season and the highlight of the day was our second (un-aged) Ferruginous Hawk. American Pipits (15) and Grey-crowned Rosy Finches (13) moved significantly for the first time and a third House Wren for the season migrated south along the ridge in company with Yellow-rumped Warblers and Red-breasted Nuthatches at 1310. A single Parry’s Townsendia flowering north of the site was (I think) surprisingly late. 11.08 hours (105) SSHA 16 (36), COHA 3 (18), RTHA 3 (26), FEHA 1 (2), AMKE 2 (10), PRFA 1 (2) TOTAL 26 (123)
