Visitors:
The gentleman from Georgia was back today to learn about patience rather
than Mississippi Kites.
Weather:
Overcast and windy melding to rainy. Oh yes, and cold.
Raptor Observations:
Very little movement. Only Sharpshins today whereas there were none
yesterday and yesterday was much more interesting.
Non-raptor Observations:
Katie's maxim of little movement when rain to the North is affirmed.
Predictions:
No rain to the North, warmer air and less wind.
