Hi All:
A very slow flight today, S/SSE breeze <5knots.  To amuse myself I kept
a list between 9:30- 11:00 and came up with 30 species seen/heard from
the hawk watch.  Raptors: RT-4, SS-3 and a pair of probably 3rd yr. Bald
Eagles in transition plummage grappling in mid-air and uttering little
eagle cries.  ( And where were the spectators wanting to see BAEA when
this was occuring?? )
Kevin Graff has really been wracking up the buteo numbers lately, way to
go Kevin!!
  Nice look at EASTERN MEADOWLARK perched near the watch, a lovely
GOLDENCROWNED KINGLET  flitted in, crest aglow and flyover of 3 TUNDRA
SWANS.   Amazing numbers of BLUEBIRD- 300+, ROBINS by the hundreds and
several flocks of 50+ CEDAR WAXWINGS.
I did meet a couple from Chicago camping in the area, birders also, who
told me of SANDHILL CRANE migrating over their  house in Chicago.
