I got to the spot at about 7:40, and stuck around for about 20 minutes. Got to see a wonderful aerial display of a Broad-winged Hawk, which I assume was trying to impress another that I couldn't see. Evening chorus of Wood Thrushes, Veery and Swainson's Thrushes, along with a loose flock of about 8 Common Nighthawks made for a nice evening nonetheless. The Olive-sided Fly may have just been laying low this late in the day. Would appreciate any updates.
