Quite a few people came to the tower today from Ohio, Thunder Bay, and

A beautiful day for being outside but too hot on the top of the tower.

Very few raptors migrating on the persistent south wind.

A visitor to the tower early in the morning reported a godwit flew over and
out onto the lake near dawn.
