From Adam:
Hi All
Had a shortish walk in Prospect this evening; the three raptors were circling in the same updraft above Lookout Hill, a good selection of warblers on the Peninsula, 4 Red-winged Blackbird on Duck Island (have not seen them in ages -- I think the ice rink construction chased them off) and 3 Nighthawk over the Lake after nightfall. Also many un-identified warblers on Duck Island and Breeze Hill (too far & too dark).
Cheers
Adam
