Sounds like the rush flight I had here at Bessborough Park. Except it was almost all Broad-wings. I even had a kettle of 5 come though after the downpour started. They dropped into the adjacent valley quickly.
1100-12:15pm
73 BWHA, 3 SSHA, 2 RTHA, and 1 AMKE.
Looking forward to see what all the counts get.
In general the Broadwings dont get right to the lake. Each year we get decent numbers of low Broadwings but not the volume of other sites. Our view north is limited so we dont get the distant ones. Tomorrow should be a great day.
How about Sunday's weather? I'm planning to come down in the morning. I "heard" there was 6 Hummingbirds last Sunday!

There was one co-operative Hummingbird yesterday. A few moved through the park. Sundays forecast says 10 SW which means very few raptors. Remember NORTHWEST is BEST. This time of year that holds for all migrants. We will probably get an early flight of raptors, leftover from the day before and then things will die down by 10am. If there are hummingbirds in the park Saturday they will likely be there Sunday.
it was 1 juvenile and 1 adult bald eagle. the white on the tail and head were present in 1 of my pictures.
Thanks for the correction Richard. Will adjust the post later this evening.
