Notes	Mostly cloudy, which I typically try to avoid. But the finding of a Ferruginous Hawk in the area, a few days earlier, dictated getting out there without much further delay. Also, colder weather in the long term forecast. Not especially cold on this day. Not especially windy, but enough to be felt at times. And it didn\'t seem to stimulate a lot of soaring, perhaps outweighed by the negative effect of the clouds. As a side note to only 3 Black Vultures being encountered in the survey area. Where I stopped to get breakfast, about 5 miles away, at least 12 BV\'s were sitting on rooftops in the shopping center.
