| The weather was hot and sunny at Hawk Ridge today. I met people from North Dakota and New Hampshire and Vermont today. The wind was from the south which isn't the best for migrating. By the time I left in the afternoon it was 91 degrees and humid. |

| The number of raptors seen was low. Incredibly they saw 10 red headed woodpeckers flying south. One red headed woodpecker seen would be amazing. Ten is incredible considering how few oak forests are north of here. They saw 2127 cedar waxwings, 157 common nighthawks and 154 rose breasted grossbeaks. We saw a broad winged hawk, red tailed hawk, eagles, kestrel and a merlin go by. The day felt like summer but the birds are telling us that fall is on the way.T |
