1 White-tailed Hawk adult
1 Red-shouldered Hawk very young flew in to perch on the back of the pond

Vermilion flycatcher young of the year on Hawkins camp just past the subdivision.
Olive-sided flycatcher was on post but harassed by a very young mockingbird.
Lots of swallows, many Trees early and Bank later with Barn and Cliff all day.
A few gnatcatchers, Dickcissels, Yellow Warblers and the local young Painted Bunting plus 3 Wood Storks and 1 Magnificent Frigatebird.
Things are heating up at the point!
