Greetings!
Well, the quest for White-tailed Kites was a complete
Success at Julia Butler Hansen NWR on Saturday (1/31).
Saw 6 Kites from one scoping position. About every
other tree for 1/4 mile had either a Kite, a Hawk, or
a bald Eagle in it! Raptor count for that one spot
was 6 Kites, 2 Harriers, 1 Red-tail, and one Bald
Eagle!
And about 1/2 mile later was another Kite chasing a
Bald Eagle!
Plus all the usual suspects,
Ruffed Grouse,
Tundra and Trumpeter swans (Ridgefield NWR),
plus Nutria and 4 groups of River Otters!
Not a bad day!
Guy
