Visitors:
John Williamson from Harvey's Knob
Weather:
Minimal cirrus cloud cover (<5%) with a light NE breeze (1-eight mph) and a
high of 79 F.
Observations:
A steady trickle of mostly single birds in the morning that dried up in the
afternoon, although birds seen continued to be at a reasonable height.
Wondering if a lot of the Broadwings have been blown east farther out on
the piedmont.
