Sounds like a good day. I was lucky enough to be there once, several years ago, when something like 240 redtails went through in under an hour, I think it was actually about 30 minutes. The winds had shifted to SW by nghtfall and owl migration was slow. Lamb's Knoll netted 10 owls, two of which had been banded at the site earlier in the season.
