Total observation time: 4 hours
Official Counter: Bill James
Observers: Dillard Childress, Katie James, Phillip Ferguson
Visitors:
Lots of drivers, but not many stoppers.
Weather:
Very little wind and nothing moving most of the time. Clear skies, temps
in the high 70's, good visibility just nothing to see.
Raptor Observations:
After a brief period of movement by turkey vultures, there was a single red
tail over the top and south. We arrived late, but Dillard and Phillip
assured us that nothing was flying having seen one vulture.
Non-raptor Observations:
There was a distant cloud, alone in the sky, that formed, appropriately, a
zero.
Predictions:
Must be better.
