2009 Fall Hawk Migration: Orange Beach Gulf Shores, AL Fort Morgan, AL
Wednesday: Spent an hour at Fort Morgan yesterday, from 11:00 to 12:00 noon, and saw surprisingly few birds migrating–only 3 small falcons, two of which were kestrels (the other not sure). Did have fun watching two peregrines in some sort of mock “dogfight” for a while, so that was fun…There were a lot of birders (passerines) at the Fort, as well, but no one seemed to be watching the skies for raptors. Am going out there tomorrow for a few hours (9 a.m. until noon), so I hope we’ll have some birds moving through with the passage of the cold front we’re expecting…Y’all join us!
