Hello,

Today we had large numbers of birds at Quaker Ridge,
but they were not broad-winged.  We had 10 plus
observers watching as sharpies came through in ones
and twos all day.  Between 1-3pm about 200 passed
overhead, bringing 60 breadies amongst them.

Also, notable was a red-breasted nuthatch.

26 Osprey
4 Bald Eagles
10 N. Harriers
300 Sharp-shinned Hawks
19 Copper's Hawks
75 Broad-winged Hawks
22 A. Kestrels
2 Merlin
