We get a lot of hawks and falcons, but not many eagles. We also have a lot of egrets and cormorants. The egrets are usually alone and the cormorants in pairs, but one time we saw an egret migration and it was like something out of the opening to "The Lion King". There were hundreds and in groups of five to twenty at various altitudes. I've only seen that once, but it was amazing.
