Visitors:
Among all the hikers who said hello, Steve Singer stopped by to chat and
discuss yesterday's count


Weather:
Moderate (1-3) N-NW winds with maximum, but infrequent gusts up to 22
km/hr. Temperature went from 1-9° C. Cloud cover was 0% until the last
hour when about 1% of the sky had sparse clouds.

Raptor Observations:
Small movement of raptors
Non-migrating -- two possibly three Adult Bald Eagles, with probably the
same pair circling together that were seen yesterday. Also one TV

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Monday will be moderate N-NW winds with decreasing cloud cover in the
afternoon. As previously stated, I will probably not be on site at all due
to medical appointments. Tuesday, winds are predicted from the SSE and
after Tuesday night's rain winds will shift to the SW for Wednesday and
Thursday and temperatures will rise. Cloud cover may help finding migrants
on Wednesday and Thursday when thermals may be expected to develop allowing
whatever birds are migrating to fly high.
