100% clouds and a wind of 5-10 MPH from the ENE made it easy to see the migration today as it passed Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven.A steady stream of Tree Swallows all morning ended up with 700 birds. No other swallows were seen. The continuing RedWing Blackbird push resulted in 1,600 today.As far as Raptors this morning, Sol Satin and I had:OSprey - 1Sharp-Shin Hawk - 2Cooper's Hawk - 1Merlin - 1Peregrine Falcon - 2

For a complete liost of todays birds, see eBird S60843666.Tomorrow looks like there could be a potential of better numbers.
