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.
