Monday, August 25:

A quick followup note on today's watch; only raptors to migrate through were 11 Mississippi kites. Rain and thunderstorms in the Coastal Bend area today kept flights down.

Off-Site Note:  American Kestrels on the way, should start showing up here in good numbers any day now. First Nueces County arrival report I heard came from Kent Taylor today. He logged in one kestrel on Sunday at the Corpus Christi Army Depot on the Naval Air Station base. It must have a sense of humor -- the little falcon was perched atop the Environmental Services Building on base.
