Another very enjoyable day of November hawkwatching here at Audubon Greenwich. We don't know how these Red-Shoulders keep accumulating over us, but another 92 passed by us today bringing our seasonal total to a record-crushing 680 Shoulders. Just to give you a general idea, HawkCount's projected average for our Shoulder numbers is 133. Red-Tails also continue to grow in numbers with 63 today. Golden Eagle #11 for the season came by at 2:12 PM, shortly after an afternoon push of 10 Bald Eagles. All raptors aside, the highlight for many today was the flock of 10,000+ Grackles that passed by us between 9:30-10 AM (likely the same group seen by Stefan Martin over Stamford slightly earlier). At times the horizon was completely blanketed by a vortex of Grackles. Major thanks to Dave Salmon and Cynthia Ehlinger who took today's count and to everyone else who came to help out today: Al Collins, Ken Mirman, Frank Guida, Stefan & Shaun Martin, Joe Zeranski, Aiden & Erica Kiley, Rachel Pollock.
