Hi All:
A glorious fall day, perhaps the last really fine day we`ll have,but
disappointingly few raptors; guess they all left yesterday!!  The
morning began very hazy, finally lifted about 10:30am.  Winds were
0-5knots from NW, shifted to E about noon.  From 10:30- 1pm
SS- 10
BW-3
CH-5
RT-1
MER-1
TV-8
BE-1 immature
Observers: Jean & Don Burgess ( NJ), Barb & Susan ( DE ), the Fishers (
Cecil) and a dozen or more hikers/campers intermittently.
A MEADOWLARK  flushed from the field as hikers strolled through,
GOLDFINCH very abundant, flock of ~ 200 observed foraging from seed
heads near ground level.  PURPLE FINCH  and  PINE SISKIN flyover.  Many
BLUEBIRDS moving.
