Migratory movement is medium high with a great deal of guests gracing our skies. Hawks
are also moving through the area, yet we still have plenty of resident birds. While looking
at a large group of Turkey Vultures, my attention was drawn even higher by my binoculars to
discover a Broad-winged Hawk, which is relatively rare in this area. What few birds are left
won't be around too much longer, yet we still have some oddball stragglers still coming through
the area like Bell's Vireo, the Orchard Oriole, Dickcissel, and a few others still winging their
way south. There are even a few earlier arrivals, and this year, nothing will really hold true to
form. There will still be plenty of activity that awaits, and many more birds yet to arrive, so
sit tight and enjoy the migratory ride.
