From yesterday's Detroit River Hawk Watch:

"Our best day so far with 290 birds and ten different species.

The broad-wings led the way with ninety-seven, although the biggest kettle we saw was thirteen birds.

Most were flying at nosebleed heights, as they are wont to do."

A slow day at the Detroit River Hawk Watch at Lake Erie Metropark in Brownstown Township.

Not a lot of variety; Turkey Vultures are the most reported species so far.
