A decent day until after 1 pm, then no more raptors. I also had a Yellow-throated Warbler feeding in the bushes next to the building. The last raptor today was the second Merlin of the season. I have attached 2 photos of the first Broad-winged Hawk I saw on Saturday. I was fumbling with the carrying case or I would have had a much closer photo.
