Bill Grant kept the count today and reports cold, blustery winds as high
as 25 mph out of the NW. The birds did not disappoint, 2 adult Bald Eagles
flying together put in an appearance, also an immature Golden Eagle and an
adult
Northern Goshawk. A gorgeous Red-shouldered passed below eye level giving
great looks. On hand to help spot hawks were John and Sharon Williamson, the
Goffs, Andy Biggs, and Jim Hylton. Bill also reports a flock of 60 DC
Cormorants
passing the lookout heading SE.
