These talks are very important to the NPH as they provide a chance to reach a few people who might never otherwise even just look up and all kidding aside, Tom does a nice job of representing our cause. Weather: Light winds and heavy cloud cover with tempertures reaching 12°C today. Observations: A sharpie and a couple of red-tails provided the days entertainment. A single local TV around 12:40 provided the representation of the local population today. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Bill Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Beamer Conservation Area, Grimsby, ON information may be found at: http://www.hwcn.org/link/niaghawk/index.html Beamer Conservation Area is located on top of the Niagara Escarpment above the town of Grimsby, Ontario.
