Visitors:
Max's babysitter and husband - Nelson and Stella Burkholder. (Max is the
young boy from the Shippensburg area who has visited a couple times.) They
were hoping to see a GE. They did not see one on their morning visit. They
stopped again in the afternoon on their way home. As they pulled out of the
parking lot, a GE flew by and I was able to point to the sky in hopes they
would see it. They turned around and came back and asked if it was a GE.
They were thrilled! Randy and David Pfarr from Johnstown were at their camp
in Treaster Valley and stopped to chat for a while. They said they will be
back.

Cool with winds out of the ESE all day. Winds were fairly steady most of
the day. High clouds all day.

Raptor Observations:

Non-raptor Observations:
Local RT, TV not counted. Nemo and friends were around most of the day.
