Apologies entered for any mistakes and typos; too many goblins
and ghouls at the door every five minutes! Murphy's Law for Hawk Watch
Data Entry: there will be NO mistakes in a report when you are interrupted
every few minutes. Mistakes will abound when the report is prepared in
solitude and with ample time. (We'll see! <grin!>)
Other than hawks: a single kettle of approximately 450 white pelicans flew over the watch site. Also recorded one whimbrel and two Bewick's wrens.
