Observation start time: 11:00:00 
Observation end   time: 17:00:00 
Total observation time: 6 hours

Official Counter:        Thomas O. Hunter

Observers:        

Visitors:
None.


Weather:
Hot. Very little cloud cover. Winds light.

Raptor Observations:
Still no flight pattern. A local Sharp-shinned Hawk came through carrying
his lunch, a small songbird.
Still only singles. Any kettle that formed was only temporary. One of the
hawks would go north of the ridge and the other would turn into the valley
on the south side.

Non-raptor Observations:
