Strong north winds brought high hopes to the counters but very few migrant
raptors to the park.
The continuing string of cloudless deep blue skies didn't help.

Of the 39 migrant raptors tallied all but six were Turkey Vultures.

Our adult Bald Eagle pair were hanging around.

Common Raven:2

A few small flocks of Canada Geese were noted

No clouds again tomorrow.
Sunny, with a high near 64. North wind around 5 mph becoming west in the
