This morning I had a pair of Eastern Kingbirds fly by, and my first of season Sharp-shinned Hawk. I thought I had a sharpie fly by last evening, but by the time I got on it with my bins it had moved too far off to get a firm ID. Last evening, a single southbound Common Nighthawk went past just about 7 PM, though conditions were perfect for a good flight.

Had an Osprey fly by this morning, so it must be "officially" hawk migration too. Had a Purple Martin, and another Chestnut-sided Warbler as well.
