Throughout the morning it looked as though it was going to be a moderately slow but okay day for migration. Sometime around 1:00 PM, something changed and a nice push of raptors come through for several hours. Movement continued until 6:00 PM which is a bit later than typical. Broad-winged Hawks were the predominant species, with a good showing of Turkey Vultures as well. Late in the afternoon, an immature Golden Eagle passed through. Hopefully this isn’t the last we see of this species for the season.
