Comments: First BWs were spotted almost as soon as I got out, as a stream of 143 had developed right overhead. I suspect that the day’s count would have been higher if I had gotten out sooner. (Don’t we all have times like that?!)
Interesting to see how the count observed here today was so different from other NH sites. Because this site is NNE of former watch at Little Round Top (Bristol) I hazard a guess that any counters at that now-abandoned site would have had a pretty impressive count this day.
Best wishes to everyone for a great day today!
