Weather:
Cool and clear with early high clouds.
Observations:
NG - Long view of an immature. Our view reminded Bob why he tells people
that the markings on the breast and belly of an immature Goshawk look like
the chocolate-covered finger smearing of a small child.
Nice flight of Canada Geese - 7 V's for a total of 308 birds.
