This morning I did the lead off leg.

5:35 observation begins.
5:50 Peregrine seen flying south.
6:03 Sunrise
6:15 Start video cam
6:55 First Barn Swallows seen flying.
7:10 First duck
7:24 First Black Swift sighting.
7:27 Last Black Swift sighting.
7:40 Observation ends, temperature 57 degrees F.

Not sure if the number was 6 or 7. The falcons left them alone.
It will take me a while to check my video footage.

Who's got tomorrow?
