T & I returned to LEMP on Tuesday (no school). The day's totals were pretty low due to wind direction, but we did actually see 2 official* migrant hawks (a Cooper's hawk and a red-tail)! They only spotted a total of 5 that day, so we saw 40%.

(*Officially counted as migrating, according to the count protocol they use there. Learn more at the Detroit River Hawk Watch web site.)
