Pretty slow the past several days, and was hoping the passing front would've brought something interesting. This morning I had a pair of Eastern Kingbirds fly by, and my first of season Sharp-shinned Hawk. I thought I had a sharpie fly by last evening, but by the time I got on it with my bins it had moved too far off to get a firm ID. Last evening, a single southbound Common Nighthawk went past just about 7 PM, though conditions were perfect for a good flight.

Cedar Waxwings are being seen now, with many HY birds, and lots and lots of bluebirds and Chipping Sparrows, with many young birds around. Not much else around, yet.
