2pm is about when I was at upper buttermilk watching a crow chase a broadwing who after shaking the crow started circling away in the downstream direction. Could very well have been the same bird you saw. From their low flight I didn't think the broadwing was migrating.
Also there was a loud Louisiana waterthrush.
