Sorry for a late report, I was out all weekend for living history 
event camping at Washington Crossing Historic Park, north of 
Philadelphia.

On Friday late afternoon, I was doing birding for the Bloomin 
Birdathon at Audubon, and then at 4:55pm, I noticed several hawks flew 
over headed north. I don't usually do a hawk count in spring. For almost 
two hours, i counted 60 hawks so far:

 1  Turkey Vulture
11  Osprey
28  Broad-winged Hawk
 2  Red-shouldered Hawk
 1  Red-tailed Hawk
 8  Sharp-shinned Hawk
 3  Cooper's Hawk
 5  Am. Kestrel
 1  Merlin

That bring a total of 122 for the spring, but I only do fall count where 
I had thousands of hawks.
