Hazel Bazemore Hawk Watch, Fall 1998
Date:   11/14/98

Steeeee-rike three! Yep, Glenn says the rain and the front held on just a little bit longer, long enough to scotch the watch today. Darn the luck. Let's hope everything that's backed up gets up early and moves like lightening tomorrow; the hawk watch officially closes on November 15th. Ah well, a valiant effort and fine battle well fought!
