I spent most of today at the Grammer Grove hawk watch in Marshall County. Pretty slow overall. Sun didn't come out until late morning. Most of the action was between 11 and noon. When I left at 3:00 we had 19 Broad-wingeds, 30 Sharpies and some Turkey Vultures.
I wasn't there yesterday but Mark P. reports there were 380+ Broad-wingeds that came through on Saturday. Other birds so far this hawk-watching season at Grammer Grove include Merlin, Osprey, Bald Eagle.
