I got home, picked up Wilson and we headed to Jabish Canal where we ran across a few migrant groups (including several warbler species and a Yellow throated Vireo among others) as well as a nice show of broad winged Hawks numbering over 225 with 178 of those in one group. Probably missed many in the clear blue skies. Hopefully it was another productive day at the hawk watches. The Broad winged Hawk migration this season in the state has been unequalled and record setting with several watches having five digit counts, some with multiple days with 10,000 plus birds. One watch is at six consecutive days with 1000+ birds and I bet today will make seven.

Another day with at least 20 warblers. I really didn't think I would break the twenty mark again this season but with a little luck perhaps I will do so again tomorrow?
