Non-raptor Observations:
The Counter today was Thelma Dalmas from the Lynchburg Bird Club and one of
the original counters from the Myriam Moore days and well known
accomplished birder and educator. Lynchburg is helping us this year with
the count and we are very, very appreciative. Jim Elder from Lynchburg was
also in attendance today helping us spot and identify the hawks today
Predictions:
Very simular to today with more hawks
