Visitors:

Weather:
Rain throughout the morning, slowing down in the afternoon. Clouds gave
some surreal views from the platform. High stratus cloud ceiling coupled
with cloud inversion in the valleys. The Antrim windmills were poking out
of fog into the sky to catch the light E winds.
Count stopped early when steady rain moved in.

Raptor Observations:
No migrants

Non-raptor Observations:
2 bluejays, 1 raven, 5 chickadees, 1 ruby-crowned kinglet, 1 golden-crowned
kinglet, 2 juncos, 1 yellow-rumped warbler

Predictions:
More rain with light variable winds.

On this day in Pack history...
"2023: Sometimes good birds come if you just start talking about them.
Katrina Fenton: ""Glen mentioned Snow Geese this morning, and lo and
behold, one was mixed in with a flock of Canada Geese this afternoon. This
was the first Snow Goose to be seen at the hawk watch since 2015. It was a
good day overall for waterbird migration, but the wind was a bit too brisk
for songbirds.""
