Some Raptors Migrating Today


Conditions seemed good for hawk watching this afternoon, so I spent a couple hours watching the sky from east of the Silversides.  I saw at least 25 Red-tailed Hawks migrating high above the Muskegon Channel (many other raptors too high to identify were also probably Red-tails).  Other migrants included 6 American Kestrels, 6 Turkey Vultures, 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk and a Monarch butterfly.  Nothing unusual among the other ten species.
