Hawk Migration definitely got a much needed kickstart today at Audubon Greenwich with 277 raptors counted from 9 AM-6 PM. This included 189 Broad-Winged Hawks (mainly between 2-3:30 PM), 46 Osprey and 10 Bald Eagles. Warbler movement also picked up after yesterday's wind shift with a nice variety around the front fields highlighted by Nashville, Magnolia, Black-Throated Green, Parula, Black & White and several other species. The extended forecast shows Southerly winds for the next couple days but hawkwatch sites north of us also had decent Broad-Wing totals today including over 300 at Mount Watatic in MA. Thursday's forecast shows a shift back to North winds so as of now that looks like the most promising day this week for a good hawk flight. Regardless of the weather, our annual FALL HAWK WATCH FESTIVAL is THIS WEEKEND (Sept 17-18) with live raptor shows, great food, vendors and hopefully hundreds of hawks overhead for your enjoyment. Hope to see alot of you there! http://greenwich.audubon.org/news/18th-annual-fall-festival-hawk-watch -Ryan MacLean
