A very slow day today at Lighthouse Point Park..

Seven total Migrating Raptors, after the rains stopped...

Osprey... 3
Northern Harrier... 1
Cooper's Hawk... 1
American Kestrel.. 1
Merlin.. 1

As previously stated this morning, as soon as the Rain stopped. the Tree Swallows began to move, and unlike other days, there was no hesitation in their going south. I estimated 2,100 total for the morning. They were on a mission to get out of New Haven!!!
Not too much else was moving. 20 BlueJays went out of the Park towards the North and the usual suspects were present. No Pelican was seen.
