2010 Hawk Migration: Alabama Gulf Coast; Orange Beach / Fort Morgan
Hi Friends…I’ll be traveling the remainder of March and a lot of April, so I think organizing trips to Fort Morgan in an attempt to understand what, if any, sort of Spring raptor flight we have along this coast will be difficult–I’d hoped to participate in HMANA’s RaptorThon, but I just don’t think there will be time. There are quite a few accipiters wandering through, that much is evident. I haven’t seen my kites (MIss. or Swallow-tails) return just yet, although they should be getting close…we’ve had some good flights of black vultures (and TVs) in the last couple of weeks that were interesting to watch, too.
We’re going to really work hard next Fall, and spend a lot more time studying this migration corridor along Alabama’s Gulf coast. We hope y’all will keep us in mind, and check in periodically. Until then, Keep Lookin’ Up!
