Morning Flight - 20 August 2013

Another very manageable and fun flight this morning, where twelve species of warblers were tallied. There was a nice Dickcissel that did a circle or two before moving on giving us some great looks. The forecast looks interesting with some west and north components to it- enough for some birds to fly in the coming days!

Thick clouds allowed us to view the sun safely for a short time, enough to see a plane run through along with some of it's sunspots!
