After Thursday's record breaking flight of Broad-winged Hawks, Friday was a bit disappointing.  Clear skies again made it hard to spot high flying raptors, and winds from the ENE didn't help.  We began at 9:30 AM and stopped at 3:00 PM. 

NOTE: The Spring watch-site is located along the Sherwood driveway near the loop that circles the park office.
