Weather:
Rain finally stopped about 12:30pm, then started again after 4. Thunder and
lightning in area caused me to scurry back to the truck and head for home.
Raptor Observations:
I had Merlin, Peregrine and Kestrel today. One of the Merlins entertained
me with its pursuit of dragonflies. They must have been tasty because it
ate 3 before moving on down the ridge.
Non-raptor Observations:
