Otherwise we had the unusual situation of having Red-shouldered Hawk as our most numerous raptor of the day with 35. Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: We have both rain and NW wind in the forecast. It may be an ok day or may be a complete dud ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
