Visitors:
Tom Harvey & Grandson from York, PA stopped by to chat. Then a group of
adults in two cars came up. Several people were from Washington state (Go
Dogs!) and were here to go to the PSU game. Another member of this group
was Scott Brown from the Philly area. It turns out he is a published
author/photographer who has done work for Hawk Mountain in the past &
currently has published PA Mountain Vistas and PA Mountain Waterfalls.
Check him out at Stackpole Publishing.


Weather:
Clear and bright, with variable light winds out of the NNE.

Raptor Observations:
Local Redtails and Turkey Vultures were around today.

Non-raptor Observations:
Several Ravens and one Bluejay were noted.
