I only had an hour and a half yesterday (22nd) to watch from our belltower, but 
saw a few migrating raptors. In spite of mostly overcast skies there was a fair 
amount of sun and a gentle breeze.
There were 6 Broadwings, 1 Osprey, 2 Red-tails and a single Red-shouldered 
Hawk, all between 3 pm and 4:30 pm. More surprising were 7 ravens that appeared 
a couple of times and chased each other.
