8Ospreys =  3Sharp-shinned Hawks =  3Peregrine Falcons =  3Swainson's Hawks =  
2Merlins =  2White-tailed Kites =  1American Kestrels =  1
Total = 6399
Highlights include: the awesome number of Mississippi Kites(better than 5100 
counted on 08/13). 11 Swallow-tailed Kites on 08/13, and 8 more on 08/14. 
Non-Raptor cool stuff includes 4741 migrating Anhingas(to date) , and a Bell's 
Vireo on 08/13.
A huge thanks to Hawkwatch International for opening our season 2 weeks earlier 
than normal(and to Libby for requesting it).
