Grey-faced Buzzard Migration in Full Swing

The Grey-faced Buzzard migration has begun. It is still early days, but the movement is already well under way. On this day, by around 4:00 p.m. the entire sky within view was filled with Grey-faced Buzzards.

I was able to see kettles forming repeatedly. The sky was unfortunately overcast, but it offered a glimpse of the Grey-faced Buzzards' spectacular migration.
