It was a good day today, the largest Broad-Winged kettle I have ever seen up to this point and they will continue to grow. I am looking forward to the Lepard families return to the U.P. tomorrow. They have become a great addition to the crew family, we like having them around.

Spring Fling went off without a hitch in my opinion, I had a lot of fun on the platform this weekend. To those who missed out on Norman Smiths presentation last night, BUMMER, it was awesome. I'm very glad he was the keynote speaker this year.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the hawk platform and helped me spot birds.
