Little traffic today. Five hikers had lunch under the tree. The Stulls
passed by without even a seen wave.
Weather:
Beautiful day on the mountain, warm and clear with a slight breeze from the
west side.
Raptor Observations:
None.
Non-raptor Observations:
I did see 2 TV's go over the knob, east to west.
Predictions:
Another beautiful clear day with little wind and hawks. Stulls may wave?
