Bill Grant kept the count today. Bill reports a Northern Goshawk flew
right over the lookout giving great looks. Also got great looks at 3
Red-shouldereds. Bill had light NW winds with clear blue skies most of the day,
winds died
down around 3pm causing the flight to shut down. On hand to help spot were
John and Sharon Williamson. Bill also reports increasing numbers of Juncos
around the hawkwatch site.
