NOW we're talking! One more good thunderboomer deluge this morning
just to
remind us Mother Nature's still in charge, then the front blew
the clouds
clean in the afternoon, bringing mercifully drier air and cooler
temps.
Good variety today, and record-breakers in peregrines and sharpies
for
single day counts. One prairie falcon at the watch, and a second
that
unfortunately doesn't make the count, since it was seen flying
by Joel's
and Glenn's homes along the Nueces River bluff after the watch
closed for
the day.
