Around 4:45 PM this afternoon hawks were streaming into the park. Reports
were of at least 2000 birds, thought to be mainly Broad-winged, Swainson's
and Mississippi Kites. When I arrived back at the park around 6 PM there
were a few Swainson's and Mississippi Kites in the air. Tomorrow morning
should be interesting!
