This Sat. Sept 4, is the annual Smith Point Fish Fry to raise funds for the
volunteer fire dept. All birders in the area are encouraged to attend with
binoculars on. The fish is delicious, they also have an auction where you can
purchase some truly unique items.

If you would like to spend more than one day hawk watching at Smith Point you
will be happy to know that there are reasonably priced accommodations there
in a great birding location. There are also two restaurants. For more
information please contact me directly.

Kyle and Pat Peace had a kind of slow day yesterday. The morning started with
North winds but they switched to the south early .
