Joe Kennedy did the count today. No migrating raptors but lots of other stuff to see! A local Osprey picking branches from the east motte. Making a nest this late? Four young of the year Turkey Vultures being bullied by some Black Vultures. Seems the best show was the Upland Sandpipers. Joe counted 269 total with most flying low over the tower. Also:

33 Tricolored Herons
21 Black Terns
1 Solitary Sandpiper
1 or 2 Orchard Orioles
20 Magnificent Frigatebirds

There’s always something to watch at the point!
