Hi All, Today started off slowly but by the 3th hour the Broadwings started to move through and in decent hourly numbers The total birds for the day was 24,520...a great count but not a total surprise given the nearly perfect weather comditions! The best hour was from 11-12 with 12,485 Broadwings in that hour alone.
The Sharpies were really on the move today as well with 882 counted along with some Cooper's Hawks 11. Not nearly as many Kestrels with only 179. A couple more Peregrines...one which was eating something on the fly. Tomorrow (Tues) could prove very interesting with mostly sunshine with some cloud and predicted light NW winds.
