Today was a fine example of what a good front can produce throughout the latter portion of the hawk migration. Tallying almost 600 raptors today, we had views of both kettles (flocks of raptors) as well as great raptor diversity. From the early-season Osprey to the late-season Golden Eagle and Northern Goshawks observed today, it was a great day to be out at the hawkwatch! North winds persisted all day long today, bringing birds to our viewing vicinity (although just a bit high at times). Tomorrow's migration flight could possibly follow today's impressive migration. See you at the hawkwatch!
