10 Raptors, 8 Migrants Cross Channel

Curious if any raptors would be migrating ahead of the rain clouds, I hawk-watched from 1:00-2:00 at the Muskegon Channel today.  I saw ten, two non-migrating (an adult Bald Eagle and a falcon, probably a kestrel, both north toward Snug Harbor) and eight migrating: 1 Northern Harrier (brown), 6 Sharp-shinned Hawks, and 1 Merlin (harrassing 3 of the Sharpies as they all passed overhead).
