Several others whose names I didn't get :) Weather: Initially bright and sunny but a system moved in on the moderate NW winds and eventually there was 100% cloud cover. No rain though and warm for this time of the year with a high of 14. Good visibility. Observations: Well....today was great for variety with a total of 11 species including a single Golden Eagle and some really nice looks at young Goshawks. We had one young Gos that nearly took our heads off!!
