Hi all: Decent flight today, still waiting for major Red-shoulders. Mod. strong wind out of NW, cloud cover ext. variable, began mostly clear- to 80 % cloud, back to 50 % clear etc. etc. , from 8:30 - 11:00. I was glad to have the company of Amy Gordon, also with Cecil BC. All 3 dogs with me today! Sharpies- 19 Bald Eagle- 2 second yr, 1 3rd yr. Red Tail- 8 Coops- 3( a nice chance to compare their relative stability in the air to sharpies with the strong wind. ) Red-shouler- 1mature. Others DC Cormorant- 1 imm flyover Common Mergs- 4 Bluebirds- 50+ ( a tree in the meadow looked as tho` it had been decorated with BB perched throughout ) Tree Swallow- 10 Palm Warbler- 7 Didn`t count the following, suffice it to say there were MANY Robins, RW Blackbirds, Cedar Waxwings, White-thr.sp.
