making up

i spent about 3 and half hours this afternoon looking up, outside my house. more than five species of raptors. i lifed a bird from my "yard" today... and there were 7 of them (broad-winged hawk)... this was a gleeful thing.

also: 2 ospreys, 1 harrier (first from yard), 11 kestrels, 1 red-tail, and three other hawks i couldn't prove.

the geese are starting south, too.
