Hello all,
Twenty-two people attended the Hi Mountain Lookout Project 10-year
anniversary event. During the lunch break we were joined by another 15
who were attending the annual Pozo Wildflower Weekend field trip.

Special guest Don Parham shared his recollections of the 1970*s Huff*s
Hole peregrine falcon nest watch. Hi Mountain Lookout was staffed by
volunteers from Morro Coast Audubon Society, working several day shifts,
observing and protecting the endangered peregrine site each nesting
season before the USFS fire lookout would come on duty. It was great to
have Don make a visit again after all these years!

We also appreciated an update on the condor recovery program and recent
events at Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge, presented by USFWS
biologist Dan Tappe.

It was a good day to be up on the mountain! I hope you enjoy the
photograph album of the event, which can be viewed at:
