              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: D.DeColibus
The night began with clear skies and a sparrow(?) in the control room. The bird was coaxed out through the conference room window before sunset, luckily.
The A half observer had some internet connectivity issues on their end during the shift; I continued monitoring their exposures while they were troubleshooting.
The skies were basically clear all night, with only light cirrus and the occasional thin cloud to bother us.
No problems tonight.
