Hello from The Hill!

Mississippi Kites 8
Broad-winged 8
Swainson's 7
Harris's 1
UB 1
---------------------------
Total: 25

We also had two kettles of anhinga 100 + and 80 birds

This was the first of B L U E skies today. As usual directly up and over head we could see well and ID the migrants. We haven't begun silent prayers for "cumies", but I suspect soon. There were 25 total birds today. We were excited. Scott found the first MK's and was elated.
