Drove out to NAFEC on Thursday...Complete bust. 2 hornets, 1 CH53 all day  The catch of the day were 2 Merlins returning from some type of sling load work.  Please don't judge me on these photos alone...Weather was aweful and I was using a new lens...

That's definitely a rare catch.  8)

But yeah, NAFEC is never good this time of year. Not only is it hotter than blazes, but the activity drops WAYYY off down there this time of year. Sucks to drive all the way out there for nothin. :(
