Raptor Observations: Good variety for hot southerlies. The early Red-Shoulder was sweet, but I didn't stay long enough for any late falcon flight. Multiple osprey dives Non-raptor Observations: Fair number of migrants and local colour. Herring Gull kleptoparasitism (two adults) a highlight. All the swallows including a aberrant plumaged Tree. Dozens, perhaps 100+ Purple Martins. Very confiding chimney swifts. At least 15 hummingbirds from tower, all going west. Dozens of LEYE. 4 Black Terns. Predictions: Guessing it is going to be hot. Clouds and sun, warm, humid. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sean D.
