From September 1 through November 30, I look forward to reading the daily summaries.

Today's Detroit River Hawk Watch summary report begins:

"When the Levante wind blows over the Mediterranean, the Rock of Gibraltar becomes a cloud producing machine.

The western side can go for days without seeing the sun.

Today felt like one of those days as we sat in a bowl of potage gris that seemed to thicken as the day progressed."

From mid-February to mid-April, dedicated citizen scientists in Borrego Springs, California rise each day before dawn to stand in a fallow field to witness and count the transit of Swainson’s Hawks, often thousands of raptors in a few hours.

The Swainson’s Hawk makes a 7000-mile migration from the pampas of Argentina to breeding grounds in North America, pausing for a night or two in this ancient desert to feast on grasshoppers before ascending on the thermals created by the dawn sun to continue their journey north. Most mornings large kettles of Swainsons (sometimes mingling with Turkey Vultures) sprial slowly into the air before disappearing over the Santa Rosa mountain range.

Now am calling on our #pasopacifico #raptor monitoring team at our #hawkwatch station to evacuate early tomorrow as a #TropicalDepression approaches Nicaragua. There will not be too many raptors flying through that and so its best to keep the team safe and dry. #tropicalwx

Good morning from the Luis Fernando Diaz #hawkwatch station in #Nicaragua. Millions of raptors and vultures migrate through here each fall. We aim to protect stopover sites and document the importance of this region for #raptors. #pasopacifico #conservation

Another year has passed since we lost our young colleague to Covid-19. We miss him very much but are grateful to be able to honor his memory through a #hawkwatch raptor monitoring station in his name. #Nicaragua #pasopacifico

Positive reinforcement is a powerful tool in dog training, but not all rewards are created equal. Understanding the difference between rewards and reinforcers is crucial for shaping desired behaviors effectively.
