It was a fantastic couple of days on Sunday and Monday with 80,000 hawks
coming through. In addition to the large numbers of broad-winged hawks,
there were two zone-tailed hawks, a few bald eagles, the highest one-day
count for sharp-shinned hawks in the history of the count, and a smattering
of other raptors, including cooper's hawks, northern harriers, and some
mississippi kites.
This Saturday is looking like it could be good after the front passes on
Friday. The front moving through the north part of the country could result
in some western species, such as Ferruginous Hawk and Prairie Falcon.
The video of THOUSANDS of broad-winged hawks migrating can be found here.
48,000 hawks came through on Monday between 8:30 and noon.
