Weather: Stiff SW at dawn soon became light and variable. Raptor Observations: Listless and lethargic. First falcons only respite. Non-raptor Observations: As above, seemingly little moving. Dozens, maybe hundreds of Purple Martins. Nice looks again at many swallows. Predictions: Dog days. Likely even more warm and humid. Perhaps some clouds will give definition to brutal sky. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sean D.
