There was a bit of a hawk flight in the afternoon, but in general the day was slow and sucky. Oh yeah, had a SEOW-probably record early for the county.

Ahh, the day after the front. Sometimes these are exciting days! Sometimes....they suck.

Light NE winds and clearing skies and not much of a flight.

NW winds upwards of 20 knots led to a decent push, although as typical for dabblers the day before the front was the better day.

Cloudy skies and south winds 8-10 knots lead to the best teal flight of the fall (an approaching cold front might have helped too)!

It rained all day today, but that wasn't the bad part. The bad part was over 6 hours of thunderstorms and lightning, which meant the count had to be suspended until it cleared.

I did catch up on data entry!

Today couldn't even come close to matching yesterday.

Clearing skies, light E winds going S and warm temps made for a...another day on the pier.

I couldn't bring myself to post a MUSW photo, so how about a photo of a $5,000,000 boat?
