This morning I birdwatched/hawkcounted from the top of Lapham Peak, between
the hours of 7:30am and 11:00am. I only observed three migrating raptors
(one Broad-winged Hawk and two Red-tailed Hawk). That Broad-winged Hawk is
the first one that I've seen since working at Hawk Ridge last fall :)

were the only songbirds actively migrating today while I was counting)

I'm relatively new to fall Warbler ID for some species. This one is
throwing me off. Any help is appreciated!
