The winds turned a breezy NW and brought good numbers of Falcons. I took the 8:40am ferry and arrived a little after 10am. I watched from the pond nearest the Lighthouse. It was a delightful flight with mostly Peregrines, Merlins and Kestrels using a very close flight path - numerous birds were just overhead and most were closer than 100 yards. The Peregrines were mostly adults. The unofficial count at the pond was about 85 Peregrines and 50 Merlins. The official Thursday Cape May count was 197 Peregrines, 117 Merlins, 485 Kestrel, 32 Cooper's, 51 Sharp-shinned, 101 Ospreys & 13 Harriers. Friday brought northerly winds and higher and fewer birds before I left at 2:30 - about 10 Peregrines, 4 Bald Eagles, 40 Broad-wings, 1 Red-tail and moderate numbers of Cooper's, Sharp-shinned, Ospreys, Harriers and Kestrels. I didn't get up early enough to get a prime warbler watching spot, but there were good numbers of Palms around. I was told a Eurasian Wigeon was in the Hawkwatch Platform Pond. Happy birding, Dan Eberly --UNS_gsauns2_2963638542--
