----------------------------------------------------------------------

Observation start time: 06:30:00 
Observation end   time: 16:00:00 
Total observation time: 9.5 hours

Official Counter:        Cameron Cox

Observers:        

Weather:
Light WNW wind all day with mostly clear skies and mild temps for November

Raptor Observations:
A juv Golden Eagle added spice to an otherwise fairly lackluster day. Birds
were on average farther today than any other day so far this season so lots
of counting distant Red-tails occurred. 

Non-raptor Observations:
The plague of Cave Swallows continues....

Predictions:
More Cave Swallows
