Hi Tweeters,

Well, to say the least it has been a memorable several days at the north
end of Woodland Bottoms, Cowlitz County looking at migrating Turkey
Vultures and raptors. Here are two e-bird reports from Thursday and today
at the site by Beaverton, Oregon based Dave Irons:

Massive highlights today were three separate Broad-winged Hawks (two at the
Cowlitz County location and another about a half mile northeast of the
Ilani Casino in Clark County). This is my 4th (or maybe 5th) consecutive
year of seeing Broad-winged Hawk at the Cowlitz County location. Of
course, 1000+ Turkey Vultures over two days was an incredible thing to see
as well. The fun will continue since Rocky Point (southern tip of
Vancouver Island) had 975 TVs and 4 Broad-winged Hawks today.

Going back there tomorrow.

Keep your eyes and ears skyward!

Jim
