Well, if anyone is into driving, just mosey on down to the Goshutes,
on the Utah-Nevada border. We've had 1,200 migrant hawks in a
day, and last year banded 900 in three. About 14 hours from
Portland...

And, if you want numbers, consider Veracruz, where two years
ago an estimated 200,000 TVs and 200,000 other raptors were
counted. In one day.
