Today was the third time this season that I'd hoped to see some hawks migrating; the first two times were disappointments. This morning I watched for 90 minutes from the south wall of the Muskegon Channel east of the USS McLane.
I counted 39 migrating raptors (29 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 1 Cooper's Hawk, 8 Red-tailed Hawks, 1 American Kestrel), 47 migrating Turkey Vultures, plus 13 probably-migrating Canada Geese and ?? migrating Blue Jays (220 total, most probably migrating, but due to conditions only ~75 visible streaming southbound over the channel.
