Sept 21 Joe Giunta and I (Sy Schiff) spent from 10:00 AM to noon on the top of Hook Mt. We saw all 8 species of the expected hawks, both vultures and Common Raven. Not too many hawks except for the Broad-wings. At one period, a kettle merged into another kettle and another. The sky was filled with BROAD-WINGED HAWKS and they kept coming. The count was ~900 when we left with the afternoon yet to come.
A Broad-wing flight day is always a spectacular. We lucked out. Good birding.
