[Donna Lusthoff]

Char Corkran and I ran the Wasco Co. Dufur, Section C Raptor Survey on
Dec. 2, 2006/
 
Our route runs from 8 mi Road and loops around to end at Endersby
Cut-Off Road. Then we run another loop from Dufur to Rail Hollow Rd, up
to Friend and then back to Old Dufur Rd. all off of Hwy 197.
 
Weather: Skies from thick fog to light sun at the end. Temps were 29 at
beginning to 28 at the end.
Wind calm, 79 miles, and 5 hours driven. 
 
Results: Count down from last run, presumably due to the fog.
