In late spring, most of the golden eagles have already come through, so the stars of the day were broadwing hawks. About the size of a crow, the broadwings probably accounted for over half the sightings. Sometimes they approached in ones and others times in fives and sixes.

The first photo shows a broadwing in flight. Note the belly marking, which is characteristic of the adult broadwing.
 
 
The second photo is of a particularly cooperative broadwing, who did a loop around us before continuing on its way. Here the broadwing's tail is fanned wide open, displaying its white band.
 
 
Some turkey vultures were migrating north, whereas local ones occasionally flew over to see how we were doing.
