ABSTRACT
tHE lEHIGH vALLEY AND VICINITY IS A STOPOVER FOR MIGRATING RAPTORS WHICH FEED ON SMALL TO MID-SIZED MAMMALS AND BIRDS AT FEEDERS. BECAUSE OF THE KITTATINNY rIDGE. eVERYTHING FROM GOSHAWK TO VULTURES TO gOLDEN eAGLES WERE OBSERVED AT MY FOLK'S PLACE WHERE i SET UP A PLATFORM FEEDER WITH PLENTY OF COVER. ALSO OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE ALONG THE LEHIGH RIVER. BIRDS PREFERRED LIGHT WINDS AND RED-TAILS ON AVERAGE WERE SEEN DAILY AT 0.92 H PER DAY. OVER 46 DAYS, 233 RAPTORS OF 13 SPECIES PLUS 2 UNIDENTIFIED BUTEOSAND 1 UNID RAPTOR WERE SEEN MIGRATING, N= 87, /X=M5.1, SE+/- 1.1. THE POISON DISTRIBUTION OF PROBABILITIES OF SPECIES, RTH= 0.51, ARE AS FOLLOWS
