Raptor Observations:
Non-raptor Observations:
John Whinery was not the Official Counter for the date, Josh and Adam Alley
were the only people on site but currently I can't edit the Official
Counter list and none of those on the list were there. Have contacted
support @ hawkwatch twice, trying to get this resolved. john
Predictions:
Overall it had been a very good day, hope this is a sign that the days to
come will get more and more numbers!
