Well that’s a wrap folks. The last day of the hawk watch was today. Bob, Tad, Joe and I had nice day enjoying the last of the birds for this year’s total. Seems like we should keep going a bit since we had so many birds today but alas, it is not to be. We waited all day in vain for a Golden Eagle but the best we could do was a Bald. I want to give a big THANK YOU to all our great volunteers:

Cliff Peterson
Dave Hanson
Joe Kennedy
Marvin Masters
Nina Sitra
Tad Finnell
Winnie Burkett

I hope I haven’t left anyone out. We couldn’t do the count without you all!

And of course thanks much to Bob who has agreed to return next year!
