Observation start time: 09:15:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 5.75 hours
Official Counter: Craig Jackson
Observers:
Weather: Zero per cent cloud coverage all day made finding birds and keeping track of them very difficult -- many birds "lost" in blue sky as they were flying. Moderate (3-2) NE-N-NNE winds with maximum gusts of 13 km/hr becoming much less strong (2-1) in last two hours of watch. Temperature -- 8-12-11?? C. Cloud cover as noted above -- 0 % throughout the watch.
Raptor Observations: Small movement of mostly accipiters Non-migrating -- 1 BE adult, at least 4 RT
Non-raptor Observations: Birds -- 20 CAGO, 1 Raven, 1 Yellow-rumped Warbler, 1 Dark-eyed Junco Insects -- a possible Crane Fly was noted flying around an oak tree
Predictions: Winds for Saturday and Sunday will be light to moderate from the SW and W and somewhat stronger from the west on Monday. Temperatures will be milder on Saturday and Sunday and westerly winds may possibly bring some migrants. However, a large flight is not expected unless TV's are taking advantage of the light winds. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Craig Jackson (<crleja1949...>)
