Bob reports 1687 raptors today. It just keeps getting better!

Broad-winged Hawk 1518
White-tailed Hawk 2
Sharp-shinned Hawk 76
Cooper’s Hawk 33
Mississippi Kite 18
American Kestrel 30
Peregrine Falcon 2
Merlin 1
unidentified small falcon 2
Osprey 1
Northern Harrier 3
Bald Eagle 1

Two hours of north east wind gave the flight some boost but then it switched east and finally southeast and things shut down. The cold front next week will probably produce a couple of excellent days at the point starting on Monday or Tuesday.
