Frosty Winter Raptor Survey
11
Ran 2 Raptor Surveys in Snyder County today with good results. Hawk haters please stop reading and move on!
Between the 2 routes we had 6 Northern Harriers, 68 Red-tails, and 4 Coopers...we also had a very disappointing low of 12 American Kestrels. We also had 2 White-winged Crossbills as well.
Some pics from sunrise before we started.
