You work 19ish hours in the last day or so and suddenly everything seems like a distant memory...
That means - it's time to find more rare birds!
Marine forecast -

Wind northwest 15 knots increasing to northwest 20 near midnight then veering to north 20 early Friday morning.
Saturday Wind light.
Sunday Wind west 15 knots.
Monday Wind light.
That means condo watch Friday! (in a few hours - must sleep soon)
Saturday - boat!
Sunday - nurse hangover
Monday - boat!
Looks like a SUPERB schedule to me... Maybe someday from Saturday to Monday (maybe Saturday?) will be a huge hawk flight down on Lake Erie?! Maybe?! I'm not sure - I won't be there.. But maybe?!
=======================
Quiz bird! - the answer is...

Turns out she was "Cosmina" - born in Toronto this year at 18 King Street !
From the CPF news site:
September 04, 2013 - Toronto - King Street
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Another one of our girls is on her way south from her natal nest site! Branden Holden, birder and photographer in the Stoney Creek area, spotted a juvenile peregrine on Sept. 2 and was able to get a sighting of her showing tape colour and partial band number. The bird is without a doubt Cosmina from the 18 King Street East nest site!! Great journey Cosmina!!
and finally...
I don't really know where this came from - but it's amazing... One photo from 365 photos - each slice is a day of the year.
