Steady east winds and warm temps kept the raptors sky high today. It was a day of good diversity with Red-tailed Hawks and Broad-winged Hawks mingling together. In addition to the fast-flying Merlins and American Kestrels there were numerous side-by-side comparisons of Sharp-shinned Hawks and Cooper's Hawks. Stop on by the hawkwatch and see what migration is taking place!
