No strong peaks and not particular high points. Seemed like it should have been better but the winds were a touch too strong. Non-raptor Observations: An unprecedented invasion of Franklin's Gulls, 114 counted from the Hawkwatch alone though they were seen all over Cape May County, was the story of the day. Cave Swallows also put in a good show with over 100 seen during the day. Predictions: It has the potential to be an excellent day though I bare believe in the existence of excellent days anymore ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
