Another Loon stream came later, but spread out like the above. Then, along came a small group of these:
Quite a surprise to see Canadas on the mountain.To complete the unusual day we had a V of these:
Swans, no less.
Unusual day!
I heard on the news later that there was an upper level disturbance that caused some "lift".
What's that about?

Duh. An upper level disturbance is an area of low pressure, characterized by decreased pressure and increased lift.
An observation [probably meaningless] made by a new viewer of the [va-bird] postings ... I have visited Kiptopeke on the Eastern Shore but have no idea where the other raptor viewing sites are located [is there a map somewhere??] BUT, it appears to me that the preponderance of raptors migrating over the Eastern Shore are Sharp Shins and over the 'western' sites are Red Tails ... this from a very casual viewing of the reports.
Reaction ??????? [Is there an analysis if the years viewing posted anywhere?]
