Tad reports 851 migrating raptors today.

Broad-winged Hawk 743
Sharp-shinned Hawk 5
Cooper’s Hawk 40
Mississippi Kite 52
American Kestrel 2
Peregrine Falcon 3
Merlin 6

Nothing else noteworthy except the persistent strong southerly winds that tend to push the birds north of us but fortunately we had plenty of birds that lasted all day long. Probably the best Broad-winged date so far. Lots of visitors also.
