[RonEHarrin@xxxxxxx]

After with very slow morning with no hawks, the Broad-wings began to show up 
in the afternoon. I arrived at 9:30, and was joined by Mitch Moore around 
1:00. It was mostly sunny but the "mackerel skies, sundog rainbows, mare's 
tails, 
and vapor trails" gave us a good backdrop against which we could find some of 
the high flyers. The wind was out of the East/southeast all day, 5-15 mph. 
Temperatures ranged from 66 in the morning to around 80 in afternoon. 
Visibility 
was limited by haze to 10-15 miles. The first Broad-winged hawk arrived at 
12:04 and we were still seeing an occasional one when we had to leave at 6:15. 
Totals:

Broad-winged hawk: 66     YTD: 78
Osprey:                     0     YTD: 5
Am. Kestrel:              1     YTD: 2
Sharp-shinned hawk:   0     YTD: 1
