We made our traditional raptor count along the I-5 corridor
coming back from my parents house. The count began at Cottage
Grove at 0915hr and ended at Astoria at 1310hr. I split
the Cottage Grove to Portland number from the Portland
to Astoria numbers.

Generally, RED-TAILED HAWK numbers were pretty good, but
AMERICAN KESTREL numbers were lower than expected.

CG-PDX PDX-AST total
Red-tailed Hawk 59 18 77
Rough-legged Hawk 2 2
Bald Eagle 1 1 2
American Kestrel 10 3 13

Astoria, OR that all through history
celata at pacifier.com the way of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.
Think of it...always.
