Visitors:
Nice to have Dale to help count. Appreciate Bill and Katie stopping by to
help spot.
Had a nice couple from Germany stop by briefly. 2 hikers today, one in
shorts.
Weather:
COLD. Temps started at 24F and went to 35F. Cloud cover was 50-100%. Clouds
were high and made a nice backdrop. Visibility was a 5. Winds were ESE at
1-2. Really only felt the wind when looking into Eastern Valley.
Raptor Observations:
Birds seen on both sides and rarely over the knob. Really far out to the
West, but closer to the East. First bird was at 10:45a , an RT. Last bird
was an RT just after 2p.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
Still cold, but a little warmer than today.
