I also have a notice (similar to Chuck's regarding the Bauer Farm harvest
festival).

The American Heart Association has an event from 9 am to 12 pm, including a
walk-a-thon at 9:45 am.  This should be no problem at all, but entering the
Park after 9:30 am or leaving 9:45-10:45 am - could be a minor traffic
challenge. Plan accordingly, and enjoy the migration (and music).

This rainy frontal passage/squall line should be over very early in the
morning, resulting in cold, moderate, northerly winds. Hawk weather!

Things are getting sporty down here at Lighthouse. Nice mix of Hawks.

However the start/finish of the walkathon is literally AT the hawk watch.  Best to park away from watch and plan to stay put once parked from now until 1130 or so.
