Total observation time: 5.75 hours

Official Counter:        Joan Boudreau and Bob Abrams

Observers:        Doug Graham, The Littles, Todd Day, Wes Hetrick

Visitors:
Kate and Fox Day. I think his father Todd said that Fox is 100 days or so
old. He is an amazing bundle of cuteness. Not Todd. Fox. 


Weather:
Completely overcast, no win, pleasant, horrible day for hawk migration.

Raptor Observations:


Non-raptor Observations:
Nothing special in the dog department. One Common Loon. Seem to be
uncommon. Lots of Cedar Waxwings and American Robins were on the move.
