Ridgetop Bonanza

Week 10 produced 48 observations from 12 species, including the one species I wanted most for the project. Not one but two Broad-winged Hawks! Lets keep birding those mountain tops so we can find some more Broad-wings. They'll be here only for the next two weeks.

The observation of the week goes to @dbond for a rather shocked looking Great Horned Owl in Grant County, Washington. Though a common and regularly seen species, an owl is an owl and it's always awesome to get one. You can see the photo here:

You guys may want to check out the umbrella project that summarizes the four years I've been collecting data. I wrote a post that shows the statistics of observations/species per county. If that's something you'd want to look at:
