It was an excellent day at the Mendota Fire Tower. I was joined there by Gary 
Cooper, Ron Harrington and Larry McDaniel. It was a good non raptor day also 
with at least 7 warbler species, Rose-breased Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole, 
Scarlet Tanager, 3 species of vireos, Peewee, Red-breasted Nuthatch and others. 
It was an excellent hawk day although the flying conditions were not ideal.
