[va-bird] kiptopeke, 23 sept

Another modest flight. Winds were northerly all day and stiffer than the past 
few days, bringing some relief from the mugginess. Cloudy skies were welcome, 
as well.

Tree swallows have arrived en masse. They were pouring over the past three 
days. Not huge flights, but still nice. Hopefully a harbinger of true fall 
weather.  

A banded juvenile Sharp-shinned was trapped today, the first foreign recapture 
of the season. We'll hopefully find out where this bird first ran into a net.  
Deniz ended up with two new captures, both juvenile Cooper's hawks.
