Happy Tuesday!

We have had more great days at the site this past weekend! Saturday and Sunday were closed days, but from the site we have designated for our volunteers to monitor from afar, they were able to see about 25-30 birds each day.

Yesterday was 24°F with clear skies. We saw a total of 16 males, 7 females, and 19 unknown birds, for a total of 42! The birds have been flying back and forth between the North Meadow and the East Ridge throughout the morning. We were also lucky to see two sparring fights between males yesterday as well.

Today was 28°F with partly cloudy skies. There were 15 males, 2 females, and 4 unknown birds on the East Ridge and in the North Meadow for a total of 21 birds. One of our public viewers said she saw a bird on the traditional main lek, which is exciting! There were several coyotes in the North Meadow, but it did not seem to have an effect on the birds.

Thanks for checking in and hope to see you all at the site!
