Raptor Migration coming through ND now following Snow Geese.

[Paul]

Yesterday I had to go to Valley City for work. On the way out, we saw thousands of snow geese heading north. On the way back we saw hundreds of hawks and falcons in the ditches and tree lines following the snows. Unfortunately neither myself or my co worker had our cameras with. It was an awesome sight. Saw some sharp shinneds, and some perigrine falcons, and some others that I didn't off hand recognize.

What do you mean, didn't have your camera with you. Paul, I'm really ashamed of you.

Well, i was going to be working in a bar installing some a sound system, and not wanting to take a chance with being releived of my camera gear I left it at home this time.

Thanks for the heads-up, Paul. I think things up here are only a few 50-degree days away from really turning on the early migrants.
