Hawkwatchers:
Noam, Walter, Brian, Theresa, Ella, Mike, Kris, Connor, Patty, Phil, Dan, Murray and many folks from his Meetup group, Allison, Arvo, Betty, Ann, Naish, Dave, Glen, Ron, Jennifer, Lee, Terry, and many more. Thank you everyone for an amazing day of hawk watching! The sky was difficult when it was totally overcast and when it was totally blue. Your skills at spotting, photographing and identifying are second to none! Only by photo were we able to possitively identify several great birds today including the Golden Eagle, the Red-shouldered Hawk, the Broad-wings and a few others.
Weather Prediction:
A day filled with E wind.
See you again soon,
Walter
