Thanks Wallace, for the recognition. I would like to point out that there are 
several others who are equally dedicated to the watch, and many others, too 
many to mention, that also deserve credit and thanks for their consistant 
participation. Bob Quillen, Bob Riggs and George Larkins have been leaders at 
the sight for years. Thanks.

It was unfortunate that Ron had to leave at 6 PM yesterday. He sensed that more 
was ahead. He was right. George and I stayed until 6:45 and tallied an 
additional 239 Broad-winged Hawks. 197 of these came in one fantastic kettle at 
6:17. 

Between Mendota and Hiltons at 7:20 I saw George stopped in the road with his 
binoculars up. A beautiful adult Bald Eagle, circling just above the trees, 
topped off a most excellent day.
