Another interesting day on Town Hill.  Winds light from the SE.  A lot of
clouds but enough sun to get a bit of a burn.  8:50 - 12:55.

9:09	45 Ring-billed Gulls migrating NW
9:22	45 Ring-billed Gulls migrating NW
9:49	20 Ring-billed Gulls migrating N
10:07	17 Ring-billed Gulls migrating NW
10:40	The first Red-tails (4)
11:17	Gull(s) heard, couldn't find
11:35	Adult male Northern Harrier migrating NW
12:27	Immature Golden Eagle sighted NE of my position.  After soaring a bit
it 	glided down the ridge heading SW???
12:34	3 Ring-billed Gulls migrating N - NE

One Pine Siskin.

Heading off the mountain, spotted a butterfly.  Appeared to be a Mourning
Cloak.   Stopped to get a better look.   Couldn't find.  But spotted a
second one (not the MC).  Didn't see well enough to ID.

Great day communing with nature.
