I've gotten to sleep in for 2 days in a row. It rained most of the day Friday and Saturday looked to be about the same. And it wasn't just rain, it was wind driven rain that aims to hit your in the face and soak into all clothing. I am such a fair weather birder. I'll bird in the desert. I'll bird in the snow. Heck, I'll bird in ice, but wind driven rain is about as exciting to me as having plaque s....ed off my teeth. But, at some point this afternoon, the rain stopped and the sun poked out from behind the clouds. I've been helping out at the birdJam (http://www.birdjam.com/) booth and when things started to clear, I headed over to visit Clay Taylor at the Swarovski (http://www.swarovskioptik.com/?l=en) booth. We looked at the light outside and he said, "As soon as it's five, we're heading to Hawk Watch (http://www.njaudubon.org/Sites/HwCMBO.html), wanna come?"
