All, I braved the weather and went to Huntley this morning. It wasn't raining when I left home but by the time I got there, it was steadily pouring. I spent about an hour and a half huddled under the tower with many other hopeful birders but no kites appeared. Best we could do was a beautiful male hummer perched about 20 ft from the tower. I left about 10:15. Maybe tomorrow. Sue -- Susan Heath Centreville, VA sheath@erols.com
