Overcast, rainy, temperatures 80+ degrees with humidity to match--very tropical feel in the Michigan forest, almost 10 inches of rain the past 7 days. Great amounts of play this afternoon, with groups of 5 to 7 (females and juvies) soaring high into the sky (side by side) and playing in the white pine and dog wood trees.
