Hi everyone, The family spent the weekend camping just outside of Jordan, MN this past weekend and I didn't do any birding (well...not much)! However, while we were playing an early afternoon game of volleyball, the other players became perturbed when I stopped the game so I could count a large kettle of Broad-winged Hawks overhead that were just starting to dissipate. 59 of them in one kettle! I even heard a few "wows" as they saw what I was looking at!
It was similiar to a kettle of Turkey Vultures I saw near Northfield on the 15th. This group was the largest I have ever seen at one time and were impossible to get an accurate count. Trying to estimate, counting them in groups of 5, I figured there to be 65 or more. Very fun! Good birding!
