There was lots of activity at Turkey Point today. Of special note: NINE Red-headed Woodpeckers flew over! Bluejays are gathering in large numbers--I estimated 300 of them today. We will likely have much larger numbers in the next week or two. Not many other species today, aside from Northern Flickers--from what I hear it was much birdier yesterday. 

Hawk flight was quite low because of intermittent low clouds, giving excellent views. Denis Quinn, who was there earlier than I, saw a few additional birds that I need to add to the list, so this is not quite the final count:

Osprey  6
Bald Eagle  2
Sharp-shinned Hawk  34
Cooper's Hawk  3
Accipiter sp.  2
Broad-winged Hawk  9
hawk sp.  1
American Kestrel  2
Merlin  7
Peregrine Falcon 2
