The Best Week Ever
The title of this post is rather intuitive of what happened in Week 12. To the best of my knowledge, this week is our best week on record ever, including previous years I've done this project. We accumulated 102 observations! This includes our rarest Buteos; 4 observations for Red-shouldered Hawks and 3 Broad-wings! Way to go guys!
As much as I like the rare, migrating Buteos, I think the best observation is @shearwater13 photo of a male Barn Owl in Adams County, Washington. This is always a fascinating bird to see, and we've seen too little for the project. These owls are common throughout the Columbia Basin. Look for them in Russian Olive groves, barns and fissures on a cliff.

One last of September, so let's make the most of it. We probably have one more push for Broad-winged Hawks before they all leave the region, but with their loss, we gain more Red-shouldered Hawks in our area, so keep an eye out for them. We are also approaching owl season, get ready for that.
