| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: Distance: estimated 300-400 yards. Optical Equipment: Bushnell scope-used 20 X. Light: Heavy cloud cover, some light fog but it did not interfere with my view of bird. Was looking toward sun but cloud cover kept sun from being a factor. Generally fair viewing conditions. |
