This "kettle" of rising Broad-winged Hawks was right over our house yesterday morning.Record Hawk migration happened in NH yesterday and from our property in southwest NH we had a total of 601 hawks:
3 Sharp-shinned Hawks
2 Cooper's Hawks
1 Northern Harrier
2 American Kestrels
1 Red-shouldered Hawk
3 Ospreys
3 Red-tailed Hawks
other NH sites also reported big raptor numbers, (for spring). Low cloud ceiling with clearing in the morning, produced low thermals and the Broadwings moved.
This was our best ever spring hawk watching day here in NH!!! Awesome!

I haven't had much time for birding due to exams, but I have still seen a Merlin, a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, and two Cooper's Hawks, here in southern Manitoba (Canada)l
You had a busy day.
