I got up at about 3:30am to take a look, but the sky was completely overcast with clouds rolled in from the ocean. Too bad. So I went back to bed.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-88299556007347929882011-08-14T19:53:13.506-05:002011-08-14T19:53:13.506-05:00We've had too much cloud cover to see anything...We've had too much cloud cover to see anything.

Their talons will do a number on your face and head.
