Hi all:
I have posted to the Smith Point hawk-count blog 
(http://smithpointhawkwatch.wordpress.com/) about the past two hot and 
virtually-migrant-raptor-less days.  ovFor those visiting in the near future, 
the pond on the N side of the town of Smith Point (on the W side of the road) 
has been productive and provides excellent views of birds.  There have been 
largish numbers of Stilt Sandpipers and there is a family (plus extra adults) 
of Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks that provide a great opportunity for ogling 
the fairly-Fulvous-like youngsters (see eBird checklists 
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14912998 and 
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S14919794).

Enjoy,

Tony
