A good number on the tower today.

Fairly light Westerly winds all day.
Raptor Observations:
There were a few birds migrating today, though many were likely missed due
to height and blue skies. A somewhat surprising percentage of
Red-shouldered Hawks compared to recent days.
Non-raptor Observations:
About 830 American Crows migrated past, as well as 269 American
Goldfinches. Also seen were late Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Wilson's Warbler.
