During a mid-day skywatch today (actually while on a conference call on my back deck), lots of birds were continuously passing over high — mostly BROAD-WINGED HAWK-shaped specks. Highlight was an adult GOLDEN EAGLE dwarfing some nearby Broad-wings. Also an imm. BALD EAGLE, 4 OSPREY, 3 NORTHERN HARRIERS, 8 SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS, 1 RED-SHOULDERED HAWK, and a flock of 8 DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS.
In the yard was a flycatching YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and a wing-flicking HERMIT THRUSH, but none of the bright-colored migrants seen by others. KEN Kenneth V.
