  Both road and trails were open today despite some equipment still rolling up the mountain. Most birds were seen at the bottom to the middle section. The Coopers Hawk was seen displaying at the top - what a stud! He must have had a very attractive potential mate as he was making all the moves - rowing, swooping down and up, flipping side to side. The John Travolta of the skies!
