[va-bird] Harvey's Knob Hawkwatch Friday (4 Nov 2005) 13 Raptors

Baron Gibson kept the count today. Baron reports light, variable winds
which produced only 13 raptors. Best bird was a Merlin that flew right over the
lookout. On hand to help spot was Jim Hylton. It's always comforting when you
have Jim helping you spot hawks, you know you're not going to miss much. A new
cold front is badly needed, we're still looking for a big Redtail day.....and
a few more Golden Eagles would certainly be nice.
