- Comments: "Unexpected! Between rain showers, caught it from a distance heading Southeast, seen roughly from The Greeter (George Catlin) statue. Lanky raptor with distinctive short front wingtips and striped wedged tail. Images."

"Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill."
