829 birds counted Tuesday at the State Line Hawk Watch as of 4 p.m., and Eric W. was still counting when I left. Of the 829, 739 were broadwings. Given this and healthy numbers from other sites, the big Broad-wing push may well come on the early side this year and before the weekend.

During the 2 peak hours, only Stiles [Thomas] and I were counting, and it was tough checking all the directions, finding the more distant
kettles, etc. with only 2 people.  We look to be short-staffed the next three days. So I'm asking for more help if practical.

Please check your schedules and see if you can squeeze out some
time for the watch on Fri., Thurs. and Wed.
