Red-tail came through low and continued on south following ridge. Looking
back, two "resident" RTs were hunting along north ridge.
At 5:20 p.m. (EST) an adult Broad-wing came around from north end of
building at eye level a few short feet out from patio which I managed to
photograph as it slowly sailed southward following ridge.
Alas, not one swallow, Tree or Barn, were seen.
Chimney Swift - small numbers
