Clouds came and went and came and went. There were always hawks to be seen when the clouds came. Most were very high so we probably missed many more when the clouds went. Nine Merlins including 2 between 6 and 7 pm. Swallows everywhere and around 2000 Blue Jays the past two days. Also a Cattle Egret.
