It was a toasty but bird-filled to be at the West Skyline Hawk Count! An exciting push of morning flight brought many warblers through the area. Mid-morning kettles of Bald Eagles and Broad-winged Hawks followed after the songbirds tapered off. A total of 61 bird species were observed today! Visitors and counters were treated to eye-level views of Bald Eagles and Broad-winged Hawks just barely beyond the drop off. Here's the eBird list from today's hawk count. ebird.org/checklist/S88417200Thanks to Erik Bruhnke for sharing these photos from today. ... See MoreSee Less

Today's flight of birds along the West Skyline Hawk Count was pretty diverse, topped with several newly-arrived species. The morning flight started off with over 1,200 Blue Jays, nine species of beautiful warblers (several were first-of-the-year for the count), a dapper male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and more. As the day progressed we were treated to close views of Broad-winged Hawks, speedy Merlin, swirling flocks of Chimney Swifts, and a Gray Ghost (adult male Northern Harrier) at the end of the day.
