Chinook Valley Raptor Count 0840-1000hr

To the person who asked how Ligenfelter Rd is spelled on the
sign... well I checked and it's spelled LINGENFELTER.

And there was a WHITE-TAILED KITE there this morning.
A bright orangy COYOTE was (apparently) stalking geese in
the pasture across from the llama on Chinook Rd.
