Raptor poll

Not including vultures!

I only saw one Red-tailed Hawk during my entire two week east coast trip. It just seems like I see a lot more raptors than most here.

I can't really say how many we see on average.  We see a lot more raptors during the spring, fall, and winter months.  In the summer we maybe see one raptor (mainly Red-tailed, Broad-winged, or Cooper's) every other day.

Not many.  I live in the Western NC mountains - not big raptor country.  Quite a few vultures but have to find some open areas to see most hawks, etc.   Probably seen 15 all year.  I do plan on visiting a few hawk watch sites this fall for the first time.

Individuals.

I remember counting 50 on my way to Layton within the course of a few hours, and that was before I was particularly good at birding.
