A good vis mig count Dave. The overnight fog cleared over Queensbury at 0700 hrs with Swallows
and Mipits piling over but by 0800 hrs the fog returned.
I bet the Teal at Ogden were the Fly Flatts birds as they had gone tonight.

Had your work cut there Dave counting the Mipits.

Maybe a bumper Autumn.
