Howdy folks,
More raptors on the move today from the porch in Townsend, MA. Similar conditions made for excellent spotting of extremely high birds against the puffy cumulus clouds. A few kettles of Broad-wings even formed at extreme altitudes; my largest was 17!
Migrants: Broad-winged Hawk 58 (all age-able birds were adults; groups of 17, 9, 6, 5 and many single-doubles) Bald Eagle 3 (2 Adults and 1 second-yr) Osprey 2 Sharp-shinned Hawk 2 American Kestrel 2 (yard bird!) Cooper's Hawk 1 (Juv) Red-tailed Hawk 1
