Hello from the National Butterfly Center,


            Today at approximately 10:30am the National Butterfly Center
had a pleasant and rare migratory Swallow-tailed Kite flying high over the
gardens. We are currently checking to see if this is a park first. Also we
are seeing hundreds of Broad-winged Hawks flying through in kettle
formations. On Friday the 28th among these kettles of Broad-wing Hawks we
had a Swainson's Hawk. Sandhill Cranes were reported yesterday (3-31-14) by
Jeff Glassberg flying over the NBC gardens.


Happy Birding!
