After a couple big days of birds headed east, it wasn’t surprising that there was a big push west shortly after. 451 Broad-winged Hawks headed west today, most in the 3rd hour (11-12). Most of the birds were very high; nothing like counting specks!
Other than Broad-wings, numbers were pretty low overall: 24 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 7 Bald Eagles, 3 Red-tailed Hawks, and one each of Northern Goshawk, American Kestrel and Rough-legged Hawk.
Other sightings on the hill include the FOY White-crowned Sparrow, a couple Yellow-rumped Warblers, Horned Lark and Red Admiral.
