I took a long lunch and wandered up tho the hawk watch today. A friendly olive-sided flycatcher was perched along the ridge. Unfortunately the hawk watch wasn't covered today. In an hour (12-1) I had 20 migrating raptors. The wind was fairly strong north (cool with 70% cloud cover) and many were close, a couple extremely high.
4 broad-winged hawks (2 adult, 2 immature) 1 red-tailed hawk (other locals) 6 unidentified buteos (most west ridge, guessing broad-winged on 4) 1 Cooper's 1 sharp-shinned 3 kestrel 3 turkey vulture 1 osprey (and one heading SE ?) Also good movement of swallows and swifts overhead, yellow-rumped warblers and sparrows along the ridge.
