All:
All the boring days, all the fretting about really low numbers. It's all
forgiven for the spectacle that was today's flight!
It started benignly enough. In the low overcast, Ron Weeks notched the first
Sharpie at 7:25 and counted the first hour's 22 migrating raptors of four
species. The oppressive low overcast stayed around during the next four hours
while hourly raptor numbers slowly climbed -- 39, 95, 168 -- then dropped
slightly (154).
But then, the overcast cleared out, the puffy altocumulus stuck around and
Broad-wingeds started coming out of the woodworkL
