Please excuse a late report for this past Saturday, 9/8. With all day  
winds from the north I thought there was a chance for migrating  
raptors and was rewarded with several good "yard" birds.  Raptor  
flyovers were VERY high and fast with most being individual birds.

Double-crested Cormorants  2
American Kestrel  2
Northern Harrier  1 (female or juvenile; very "threadbare" due to molt)
Merlin
Broad-winged Hawk
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Red-shouldered Hawk (may have been a local bird but seemed to be  
moving through)
Common Nighthawk  5  (flyovers at home since 8/31)
