Hi Tweeters,

Between 10:15-10:35 this morning, I had a stream of 177 (!) Turkey Vultures
fly from northeast to southwest visibile from my yard on the west side of
Battle Ground, Clark County. Other species this morning included:

Sharp-shinned Hawk - 1 (migrant - direct north to south)
Evening Grosbeak - 100+ (all flying north to south - none stopping)
Varied Thrush 4-5 (first of the Fall)
American Pipit - 6
American Robin - 32
Yellow-rumped Warbler 45
Black-throated Gray Warbler - 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 1
Purple Finch - 6
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1
Double-crested Cormorant - 8 (highest daily count)

Keep your eyes and ears skyward (except while driving).

Jim
