The most notable event this morning was probably the constant stream of American Robins going west by the platform through the first couple of hours, but the raptors were pretty good too. Northern Harriers put forth a nice showing, and the 7 Red-shouldered Hawks were a treat for many, and especially nice due to the fact that 5 of them were adults. There was also a nice westbound Royal Tern movement just offshore, and Micahel O'Brien pointed out 3 Pine Siskins winging by.
