Visitors:
Not much traffic today although I understand leaf blowers were there early.
Weather:
Cold (8-10), clear, cloudless day with variable and slight wind sometimes
stronger on the East side.
Raptor Observations:
The few going seemed determined, but without clear wind direction not many
going.
Non-raptor Observations:
Thanks to Mr. Miller for being more conscientious than the rest of us.
And for the hawk mountain book! And also to David B. for helping.
Predictions:
More wind and better direction.
