Official Counter: Bill James
Observers: Carl Christensen
Visitors:
No one.
Weather:
Cold with a 1 to 2 NW wind, no clouds, blue skies with a low haze.
Raptor Observations:
Not much moving in our part of the world and those going were not without
suspicion. Carl, the early bird, got the early birds.
Non-raptor Observations:
Very little traffic - little enough to make one appreciate traffic for a
change. Lots of hunter's cars beside the road. Have to remember to
whistle when visiting the loo and don't wear a white tail.
Predictions:
More, I fear.
