Hi All:
Not the flight we would have hoped for this am with strong NW winds
following a cold front, 125 birds between 9 and 1:30.  A decent day for
falcons, but where are the big buteo flights?    We are now only several
hundred birds shy of 5,000 for the season; with any luck, should reach
that mark this weekend.  Beating our best season record of 5500 in `96
certainly is well within reach.  Today:
Turkey Vulture- 22
Bald EAgle-3
Sharp Shin-71
Coops-2
Red-shoulder- 3
Red-tail-3
Kestrel- 16
Merlin- 5
