Wow what a day! Tad somehow always knows the days to be there.

Osprey 1
Bald Eagle 1
Northern Harrier 5
Sharp-shinned Hawk 350
Cooper’s Hawk 93
Red-shouldered Hawk 3
Broad-winged Hawk 22,502
Swainson’s Hawk 3
White-tailed Hawk 1
American Kestrel 16
Mississippi Kite 203

Bob counted 177 Sharp-shinned Hawk between 7:00 and 8:00 am! Then Tad took over and the Broad-wings just kept coming and coming and coming. Around 11:00 there were huge kettles in every direction you looked. It was amazing. Hopefully tomorrow will be good too! Joe Kennedy, Marvin Masters, Marcy Brown and Jim Stevenson helped out today.
