Visitors:
Aullwood Audubon Center (Ohio) had a good group here. Many others too
(Cleveland). Thanks for help and digging out those warblers and hawks.

North wind 4-7mph, Temp 17-23C; Overcast with some blue sky to end of day.
Raptor Observations:
Good BW flight. Sharpies too. and kestrels. Bald Eagles too.
Non-raptor Observations:
Warblers, swallows, blue jays in good numbers.
Predictions:
Should be another good day of hawk watching. Get there before 9 AM for
early broadwings.
