Well we made it out last night after midnight and it wasn't as spectacular as it was last year for us....the sky was super clear but we only saw about 12 in an hour time period....might be too much light pollution :-( Was still cool though...I think the coolest thing was the swooping thing came out of no where...it hit the top of our neighbor's palm tree and then we heard this horrible screeching sound like a mouse and then the thing swooped to the top of another neighbor's house. It was a HUGE owl that had just caught some poor dinner that was in the palm tree and then you could hear it crunching as he ate.
