Observers: Ned Brinkley, Zak Poulton
Weather:
Overcast with drizzle
Raptor Observations:
nothing
Non-raptor Observations:
If for some reason you need to see a Cave Swallow they're hanging out in
numbers here in the state park. There were at least 10 in view over the
platform all morning despite the poor weather and an estimate of 50 total
which is probably an under estimate.
Predictions:
RAIN
