Hawk Watch Sunday November 27, 2011
Thank God it's Friday! Well, MY Friday at least, especially since it was dreadfully slow today. I'll be taking it easy for the next couple of days but I'll be back Wednesday to count the very last day of the season. Come on stop so I can give everyone a proper farewell :)
