Okay, okay, I know that everyone who left the hawk watch at 6:30 thought
that we were stuck at 1998. I went over my hastily scribbled records and
used a calculator and found 3 math errors, 2 plus and 1 minus. So the
official total is 2001. This was an outstanding day that almost didn't get
started for me. I was headed off the hill and going home because of he rain
and fog when I met Don Carrier on the way up. We started back down and met
Roger Mayhorn, David Raines, and Steve Sweeney. They convinced me to
head back up the hill and give it a try. As soon as we got to the top, the
fog cleared and the hawks started coming and kept coming all day. I left my
backpack at the truck at the bottom of the hill so I scribbled the count on
scrap paper and did not get the names of all the hawkwatchers. Here is as
many as I can remember: Larry McDaniel, Rob Biller, Jennifer Meade, Ken
Turner, Jean Montgomery, Laverne Hunter and others: Thank you all for making
this a wonderful day.
