TexBirders,
We had our first really good day at Smith Point today. Lots of kites of both
varieties and our first kestrel. Numbers in parenthesis are the year's total.
We've only had over 100 Swallow-tailed Kites in a season 3 times before so this
year makes 4. Come on out and enjoy!

We have lots of days without coverage in September so please let me know if you
would like to volunteer to count. We had 7 or 8 days with no coverage in August
so these totals aren't what they could be!
