Official Counter: Bill James

Observers:        Dillard Childress

Visitors:
Mike P. drove by on his way to the peaks.


Weather:
Brisk, but warming day with good wind.

Raptor Observations:
Several other RTs around, but deemed to be non-migrants.  Last bird was a
Harrier, as often happens, but this was a surprisingly ghostly one.

Non-raptor Observations:
No Turkeys on the parkway today.  What does a vegetarian do on
Thanksgiving?  Count hawks, of course.  Dillard subbed for bj today who is
not a vegetarian.
