Today was my favorite type of day for hawk watching. It was cool with a very strong WNW wing all day long. It really feels like November, and it’s a day that’s just chock full of potential. And, while we didn’t get either of the sought after rarities (Golden Eagle, American Goshawk), I did enjoy a pretty good flight with over 90 migrating raptors coming through. Fellow counters Tom Millard and Ken Witkowski joined me and for the day we tallied (44) Turkey Vultures, (3) Black Vultures, (3) adult Bald Eagles, (33) Red-tailed Hawks, (8) Sharp-shinned Hawks, (1) Cooper’s Hawk, and (1) Red-shouldered Hawk. As usual, I’ve included my Hawk Migration Association <\/a>report at the bottom of this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

~At the end of the day, when I was alone, these dudes flew over. My impression was that they were ducks – the wingbeat seemed too quick for Brant, but I’m not sure. Please comment if you have any idea what species this might be. I can’t remember seeing any duck species fly in a skein like this. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
