Additional Comments (Optional) -  A red-letter day with some excellent birders finding kettle after kettle of Broad-wings. Between 3 and 4 p.m., we counted 1,179 Broad-wings – more than all of last fall. Great job!!

The image above is the scorecard -- ran out of room for Broad-wings between 3 and 4 p.m. and filled two more columns.
