The good northwest winds following yesterday's big raptor flight continued to push oodles of birds through the skies. A morning flight brought some new (for this year's hawkwatch) songbirds, like Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Yellow-rumped Warbler as well as some late Bobolinks, Eastern Phoebe, a Cape May Warbler, and more.
Numerous Broad-winged Hawk kettles (flocks of raptors) migrated through the morning skies. Peregrine Falcon numbers picked up, especially in the afternoon. The cool breeze refreshed the sunny atmosphere, and it was a pleasant day of hawkwatching that really felt like fall. Tomorrow sounds like another fun day of migration with cooler temps brought to us by northwestern winds. See you at the hawkwatch!
