In the past 10 minutes, I had the following raptors fly over the house:
4 Cooper's Hawk
3 Sharp--shinned
3 Red-Tail
3 Broad-winged
1 Peregrine
1 Merlin
Several high flying Canada Geese
Hundreds of Tree Swallows. There are more that 100,000 tree swallows on
drawn-down Buffalo Lake, in Montello, with numbers building all morning.
Numbers could be as high as 200,000 as there is a steady river of swallows from
Montello to Packwaukee.
After seeing only a small number of raptors yesterday in Superior (but 15
warbler species) it is nice to see the big movement in my backyard today.
