The peak of Broad-winged Hawks migration has arrived at Lake Erie Metropark. Tuesday 68,000 were counted and today another 52,000 were added. Tomorrow's weather will be favorable for another good day with winds with a northerly component. So if there are still broadwings that need to move through, Thursday would be a perfect day for them to do it.
Even if another broadwing day doesn't materialize tomorrow there should be plenty of other raptors to keep the hawk watchers busy.
