Bob reports 317 raptors today. Things should pick up considerably over the next several days.

Broad-winged Hawk 136
Red-tailed Hawk 8
Swainson’s Hawk 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk 93
Cooper’s Hawk 37
Small accipiter 10
Mississippi Kite 10
Swallow-tailed Kite 1
American Kestrel 5
Peregrine Falcon 7
Merlin 4
Osprey 2
Northern Harrier 2
Bald Eagle 1

An adult Bald Eagle was a nice surprise but not as nice as the Whooping Crane that flew by! Bob said it was headed west so no telling where it went. Possibly over the bay.
