Hi all: 'Twas a rain-shortened affair that might have been quite nice without the party-crashing rain. Check out the details on the blog (http://smithpointhawkwatch.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/15-october-rain-rain-go-away/). At the end of today's posting, there is an announcement about the Birds-in-flight ID Workshop on 2 November. I've also finally found the time (thanks to the rain-shortened day, today) to get details up on the blog about the 7 October flight (http://smithpointhawkwatch.wordpress.com/2013/10/07/7-october-a-fun-but-confusing-day/). The cold front is still coming. This morning, the forecast was looking less sanguine for tomorrow. But, since Tad is counting tomorrow, a recent check on the forecast shows high of 79 and NW 5-10 mph. Typical. Tad gets all the best days, even if they're not Tuesdays! Of course, he may have to deal with some rain (40% chance).
