a haze that was dreadful, especially since the birds were high and far out.

The list:
Osprey - 8
Harrier - 2
B. Eagle - 7 (1 ad; 1 trans. & 5 imm)

Coopers - 4
Browadwings - 179
Shoulder - 2
Redtail - 3

There were lots of people up today, hoping for a humdinger of a day. We were
disappointed! Manana, maybe. The group included Jennifer Koenig, Mandy Neet,
Jesse Fulton, Todd Day, Bob Abrams.Joan Boudreau, B.J. Westerveldt, Jon
Little,
Ian Topolsky, et al. Good company and great eyes! I needed all the help I
could
get.
