Default Tumbleweed at Cloudbase

On different flights I have seen:

A newspaper at over a mile up.

A plastic shopping bag at several thousand feet.

A flight of toy balloons tied together at over 4000 ft.

Tumbleweeds: many many times.

Two young eagles, talons locked, tumbling down at 10,000 ft.

But Eric Greenwell once ran into a kite string at (I think) over 4000
ft. He didn't see the kite though.
