Today at Chestnut Ridge Hawkwatch--just outside the village/town of Mount Kisco NY (Region 9), our first passage adult Broad-winged Hawk passed at height directly over the watch platform at ~8:50 EST. Until today (we began the count 15 August), we've only observed residents and dispersing juveniles. Also of note today was our first passage Cooper's Hawk, which also passed high over the platform at ~13:50. Yesterday, we also recorded 13 Common Nighthawk (only two of which were seen during normal count hours.) Fall is upon us!
