Non-raptor Observations:
The season's third Clay-colored Sparrow was seen from the platform this
morning. A Western Palm Warbler also provided a bit of a break in the
monontony that has characterized way too much of November, but other than
those two passerines, a pretty slow day. Six Monarchs were seen.
