Official Counter: Dale Miller
Observers: Bill James
Visitors:
One fellow stopped to say hello.
Weather:
Nice south to southeast wind today at 2 to 4 and warm temperatures 60-65.
Very hazy though (3) with bright sky that made it difficult to use
viewfinder.
Raptor Observations:
We were not expecting the number of birds that appeared and were a bit
lackadaisical in keeping records. We had 6 BE's about half of them mature.
Non-raptor Observations:
Slow day for traffic on the parkway, but some early hikers came through.
Predictions:
Overcast and rainy.
