Mendota Hawk Report for Saturday, September 22, 2007
Larry McDaniel, Johnson City, TN, served as compiler today while some of us
participated in the Mendota Hawk Festival, held at the Mendota Community
Center. We had a great turnout at the festival, but the number of hawks
continued
to dwindle and it was very slow day on the mountain.
It was another relatively warm day with scattered cloud cover, ranging from
10-50%. Temperatures ranged from 70F-85F. The wind was out of the
East-Southeast-South and variable.
Observers were on site from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00. Helping Larry were Dallas
