Media notes
Huge migrating flock of Broad-winged Hawk over Houston, TX.
Observation details
We were sitting outside and noticed this huge flock of Broad-wings streaming over way high. I probably missed half of them or more. Huge flocks continued for another 10 minutes, then smaller groups. Count is a very rough and conservative estimate from blocking out groups of 100. Missed the leading edge of the first big group (that I saw) and many when I ran in the house to get a camera.
