"Birding history will undoubtedly be rewritten by the FKH crew again very
soon! The highest full season's count for Peregrine Falcon is 3,219 set in
Kekoldi, Costa Rica in 2004, in the US & Canada at Florida Keys Hawkwatch
in 2011 with 2,976! Following yesterday's world record daily total, the
folks at FKH stand at 2,812 Peregrines for the season. This is a full 1,100
ahead of last season's record season count at the same date and there is A
LOT of season left (in 2011 the FKH team recorded 1,271 Peregrines from 11
October through mid November). With winds staying strong (actually
increasing) out of the NE for the next 2 days and then turning slightly ENE
over the weekend, I suspect the US high season count will fall and probably
the world record high season count by the beginning of next week as well! A
great time for a trip to the keys if you want to be part of history in the
making.
