April 29, 2022: Broad-winged Hawk


Late afternoon through early evening on the 22nd, hundreds of Broad-winged Hawks were seen migrating northward.  I counted at least 239 individuals, but another person with a clearer view had over one thousand.  Sometimes they were seen in kettles (dense concentration of birds circling, similar to the vapor rising from a boiling kettle).  I observed a few more the next morning.
