The first two hours at the Hawk Watch were quiet with the usual suspects, a flock of 24 Cedar Waxwings (3 visits), 6 Robins, a Northern Mockingbird, 6 dogs and 4 owners.

At 9:50 a flock of 90 Tundra Swans flew right over the field from NE to SW, and within 15 minutues were follwed by flocks of 85 and 23 for a total of 198.

Raptors: 5 Turkey Vultures and 4 Red-tailed Hawks.  The snow started just after noon, and activity ceased.
