March 28, Camatti Canyon, San Luis Obispo County.
Bird was leaving west and saw the other
(presumed ?) soaring nearby.
Took station on hill in upper San Juan
overlooking a steep canyons to look for
cardas; no success. At 1430 drove
down Navajo Canyon & saw a Cardor
perched on dead stump, observed it
until 1700 and returned to the
McMillan Ranch.
March 29. McMillan Ranch, San Luis
Obispo County. 0545 Weather -
sky obscured, surface fog with
visibility less than 1/4 mile.
Sun broke through temporarily at
0610 for about 5 minutes, showing
blue sky, then closed in again.
From local conditions I judge this
to be true fog rather than a
stratus cloud capping the hills,
since the valley below were
thicker and top was not too
far up. Sun again at 0730.
Checked hygrothermograph clock -
still seems a little slow (having
been set to maximum "fast"
setting last night).
