Observation details

Multiple large migratory kettles flying over, several kettles in the tens of thousands. Number taken from official counters to create an estimate of those seen by us during the checklist track. Most were seen using binos as they were too far but a large kettle was close enough to see with naked eyes, amazing. Incredible numbers seen today. https://hawkcount.org/day_summary.php?rsite=470
