Greetings all,

Short and sweet today; my hard drive crashed last night before I could post, and I'm continuing to encourage it to reconsider it's actions (translation: reformatting and reloading the hard drive and keeping explosives nearby for backup action).

Slow day on the hill, but lots of fun catching up and visiting with old friends.

red-tailed hawk:  1
unknown raptor:  1
wood storks:  10
N. pintail ducks:  5 (yep, you saw that right; VERY early for them down here).

Migrants starting to come through in good numbers and I'll post some nifty day lists for 08/16/98 later today.
