Jimi; Raptors Migrate every year, folks on the east coast flock to places like the Hawk Mountain in PA and Bear Rocks in WV/MD just to watch them. It is pretty amazing.

I just came in from the most awesome site I think I have ever seen. I was in the shop and noticed 2 of our cats setting looking straight up outside the door. I went out to see what they were looking at. In the sky above were over 48 Red Tailed Hawks, the most I have "EVER" seen at once. They were everywhere flying, gliding just hanging on the wind above me. I stood there and tried to count as best I could without doubling, I counted 48 on the conservative side. I have never heard of hawks migrating and am not sure what would cause this, but it was truly an incredible site. I happened at about 1:40 PM Thursday 9-30-04 I just counted another 75 in a seperate group. When I look to the north west I can pick them up as dots, wait and watch and count them as they fly directly over headed south east. This is not counting what I may have missed while I was in the house, or what may still be coming. Jimi
