 Nice day for para-gliding! (Walter)

One non-raptor highlight today was a flyover by a Pileated Woodpecker.

My thanks to Terry, Betty, Arvo, Manny, and Lee.

Tomorrow may see a few drops of rain in the afternoon.  Then, rain at night.  Keep an eye on Thursday.  At present the forecast is for NW 25km/h wind.
