Mount Peter, 091710: Broadwings moving

IMG_1662

This morning was a great morning to be at the Mount Peter Hawk Watch — a strong wind out of the north-northwest, plenty of clouds and prime-time for Broad-wings.

Saw quite a few the hour I was there, plus a couple of Sharpies and Ospreys — and the resident Redtails and vultures. Only the Teevees got close enough to photograph (below).

Wouldn't you know — less than five minutes after I had to leave, a flight of more than 500 Broadwings came over. Last I heard, around 1 p.m., they had more than 1,000 raptors for the day already.
