Visitors:
April Addington brought her environmental class from Twin Springs High
School to the hawk count today. There were 18 students. I got the names of
the chaperones but have lost the sheet. I will amend this commentary when I
find the names.
Weather:
Cool temperatures and wind from the S and SE made slow going. Rains came at
1:30 and the count was stopped at 2 pm.
