Weather:
Partly to mostly cloudy, warm, and light westerly to variable winds. It seemed like a good day to head up for a couple of hours to look for kites!

Raptor Observations:
Local Broad-winged Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks, and Turkey Vultures were very evident, with all five counted migrant raptors being immature, as expected.

Non-raptor Observations:
Other species deemed migrating: 
7 Barn Swallows 
3 Tree Swallows 
1 Double-crested Cormorant

1 Ruby-throated Hummingbird
