The day started with no wind then we had northeast wind which brought us

Sharpies. A Caracara came by, our first of the year. At 11am the wind went to

the south and started blowing the chairs down. The south wind blew away the

hawks and our many visitors. We were able to watch a sharpie pick a hummer

off the feeder and a Red-tail kill a Little Blue Heron which he didn't eat.

Another interesting day.
