Visitors:
No hikers and very little vehicular traffic. Helping with the count-Sam &
Liz Williams, Bob Miller, John & Sharon Williamson, Bill & Katie James
Weather:
Cool, breezy, good visibility for the most part, partly to mostly cloudy
variability
Raptor Observations:
No migrating Vultures reported, mostly they milled about on the Goose Creek
side of the lookout or perched on the railing. A local Sharpshin and two
Red-tails.
Non-raptor Observations:
Not much passerine movement or locally. I wonder if the SS had something
to do with that?
