before noon, conditions improved and we began to see the start of a hawk
flight (though two of the first four birds of the early AM were juvenile
Peregrines). At this point, 7 Mississippis, a Broad-wing, a Sharpie, a
juvenile male Northern Harrier, and an adult Swallow-tailed were all in the
sky, only to have a huge system of storms roll in a couple minutes after
noon to shut things down.

298 clicked passing west from about 1 pm to the end of my day. Blue-gray
Gnatcatchers were also in evidence, with 29 tallied flying past the tower.

well out in front and then seen drifting to the NE after it apparently
objected to the water crossing.
