At 10 am I was about 30 minutes SW of Grammer Grove “as the crow flies”. I was at Hendrickson Marsh on the border of Story and Marshall co. I witnessed 2 large groups of at least 100 Broad-winged Hawks each get up and kettle about a mile east of my position. I assume they were coming down Clear Creek. A few stragglers continued to show up after that. I was not expecting to see that many hawks since I was not along a major river system.  Pretty cool!
