Not as many ducks moving today as in recent days, but thankfully most that were on the move were relatively close to shore. There was a good push of raptors late in the day between 1:30-2:30pm, a bit later than I usually see peak movement. At one point I had 88 Turkey Vultures crossing the Straits all at once. There was nice movement of Sandhill Cranes throughout the afternoon.
