Between about 3:45 and 4:15 this afternoon, I counted 314 broad-winged hawks headed west over my neighborhood. 2 bald eagles got my attention and after running for binoculars I looked up at a kettle of 85 hawks. After they straightened out and disappeared into New Hampshire, several more batches went over, with the largest kettle containing 100. Also saw 1 osprey.
Kept scanning for 15+ minutes but saw no more. Wish I'd focused up sooner.
