Fall is in the air

A few photos from the weekend, I finally found the ultimate spot for counting and trapping migrating raptors. It is where the Heart River Valley meets the Peace River Valley and on Saturday I counted 74 Raptors heading south.

Here's Peace Region Raptor Stations first Rough-legged Hawk of the fall.

I had an adult Bald Eagle come check out my bait and the best was a juvy Golden Eagle make 2 passes but noticed me and flew away.

This juvy Harrier came in at the same time as another Roughie. I managed to catch the harrier.

Boreal Owls are still coming through so I'm still catching them, saw-whets have almost dried up.
