Bake Oven Knob 2 miles North of Germansville, Pennsylvania, USA Daily Raptor Counts: Aug 20, 2026 -------------------------------------------------------------------

Official Counter: Andre Vu
Observers:
Visitors: 4 visitors today, interacted with 3.
Weather: 76-80 degrees, on and off rain all day with light 2mph winds ahead of each spell.
Raptor Observations: No raptor activity today. It was bound to happen eventually!
Non-raptor Observations: One large flock of ~20 waxwings was interesting. Some folks I know in Illinois recently counted 3115 southbound waxwings along the Lake Michigan shore.
Swallows and swifts were more present just before and after rain. I think they were working the edges of the rain, which I've seen before during larger fronts.
Predictions: Sunny to partly cloudy, with a high of 79. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Lehigh Gap Nature Center (<mail...>) Bake Oven Knob information may be found at: www.lgnc.org
