Raptor Observations: A good day for Red-tails, Bald Eagles, and Northern Harriers. Non-raptor Observations: After yesterday's huge Franklin's Gull event I was hoping for a few stragglers today but it was not to be. No Franklin's Gulls at the Hawkwatch though a handful were seen at other location around Cape May. Today massive numbers of Cave Swallows were the show, in the afternoon Cave Swallow were in view at nearly every moment, sometimes wishing a few feet of people on the platform.. Predictions: Another day of NW wind is predicted. It should be a moderate day.. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
