Skagit Flats Raptor Census Results
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged raptor census, samish flats, skagit eagles on February 19, 2009|
Andrea Warner had the good fortune of participating in last weekend’s annual Falcon Research Group raptor census on the Skagit, Samish and Stilliguamish deltas. I thought you might be interested in the results she sent to me today. Volunteers counted 1065 total raptors. 568 were eagles, and 300 of those were north of Highway 20. Those numbers are fairly normal for this time of year. So, if you want to see raptors, you know where to go.
