I had a chance to watch hawks moving this afternoon from my yard in Madison.  It was cloudy here until after noon.  I did not get started right away so I missed a quite a few. I live around 600 feet from the lake and they were flying just south of the house. Of note was an adult golden eagle that passed over around 3:45 heading east.  I also had 321 broad-winged hawks, including one flock of 180+.  I did not make an exact count on things like vultures, but here are some totals.


Turkey vulture   350+

Osprey   1

Northern Harrier   1

Sharp-shinned hawk   22

Red-tailed hawk   6

Broad-winged hawk   321

GOLDEN EAGLE   1 adult
