Observation start time: 09:00:00 
Observation end   time: 16:00:00 
Total observation time: 7 hours

Official Counter: Cory Goff

Observers:        Goffs, Mike Purdy

Weather:
Beautiful, clear day. Sure didn't feel like November

Raptor Observations:
Had one unidentified accipiter come over the knob on the east side and then
turn around and head back North.
Also, when looking for an auditory raven going North, an Immature Bald
Eagle was seen (2:37) also going North. He didn't return so maybe he'll be
back tomarrow.

Non-raptor Observations:
An ultralight plane came low over the knob following the parkway. The guy
flying looked down and waved. He later came back north following the
parkway just before we left.
Something else interesting was a Mercedes-Benz Unimog 4WD camper from
England. The steering-wheel was on the right side of the vehicle. 

Predictions:
Hopfully a clear, beautiful day and at least one Imm. Bald Eagle and an
Accipiter!
