                                             Oh you people and your
raptors, Geeez.  Well John Maresh, Tira Overstreet and I had a very rare
one in Port O'Connor this morning so hold on to something solid...With our
own eyes we saw a very lost Mississippi Kite!  Sure did.!...Maybe my first
here in several years, maybe since Ebird began.....  "Oh go on", you say!
..................Also a Merlin that has taken up residence.  Now that's
hawk-watching!

  Not many migrants this morning due in part to the very windy conditions
in part but a few of the regular things.  Except for one Couch's all the
yellow kingbirds were silent in a steady mist so we did not get the
Tropical to speak though had a bird at the location that may well have been
it.

  The wind here is distinctly from the north not SW, very gusty, and is
carrying a heavy mist/foggy ...71F at 11:00A

  19 Sandwich terns on an newly formed beach after almost 8" of very heavy
rains yesterday.
