Hi Jeff. I have been checking every morning, but not putting 100% in to it. After seeing the post from Dan Haas this morning on the Facebook page which referenced the DE birds, I decided to go into work late. The sky above my house has been extremely busy over the past couple months so I figured it was worth a shot which obviously paid off. Good job putting the warning out. I am sure that the birds being seen are only a fraction of what is around. Both small flocks were up pretty high up, but the loud "clear, clear" notes were easy to pick out. The second flock was visibly much easier to see the field marks as well. They were in direct sunlight!
