Here's the count for today at Hughes Hollow (which is still where it was
originally):

Swallow-tailed Kite - 0
Hummers - a few
White-eyes - several
Unid empid - 1
Red-headed Woodies - a couple way over there
Ruby Crown Kinglet -  Laura saw one
Warblers - none that we saw
Other raptors floating by - several of various familiar sp
Birders - 249,673

I was sorry that we didn't crack the quarter million mark for birders. But
it was nice to see everybody in spite of not getting the kite. We left at
noon so if it arrived shortly thereafter we'll take credit for it comng out
of hiding.
