Is this late for them in your area George?  I had a few pass through in 
August but saw one again yesterday!  Seeing one here in Sept. is unheard 
of!  Must be the long hot spell we're having.  It's been over 80 and 
sometimes 90 here for at least 2 weeks.  Things are getting mighty crispy, 
not good with hunting season just starting.
