This was a big migration week.  Some species such as Yellow Warbler and
Spotted Sandpiper went from rare to ubiquitous.  Lots of Palm and Pine
Warblers now.  The story of the week though was the stunning flight of
Broad-winged Hawk on April 25.  Many observers reported dozens of
Broad-winged Hawks, and some even counted over 100.
