Aerial Masters

Another week has passed and admittingly, I'm shocked to learn only seven observations were submitted this week. I do have to submit some, but I'm waiting for ebird to get back online tomorrow morning before I start downloading things. What went down during this slow but windy week?

The seven observations were good, including Merlin and goshawks but I think it's time to dabble in the Debate. Observation of the week goes to @heyrobt for an amazing quality photo of a juvenile Accipiter. As you can see from the community id, it's a hot heated debate right now. I believe we've all seen that Youtube video which was a "trailer" for the Great Accipiter Debate but I think instances like this observation is the reason it should be a full-length movie.

For the next week, I hope the winds calm down in the Blue Mountain Basins. I tried looking for some White-winged Scoters but the 30 mph winds with 45 mph gust made sure I couldn't stand let alone see birds on the choppy waters. But on the bright side, if I hadn't stop looking for the scoters, I wouldn't have spotted my first 2020-2021 Harlan's Hawk and a Ferruginous Hawk. Taking advantage of the high winds apparently. Definitely good stuff out there. Good luck!
