Weather:
Favorable clouds, Comfortable temperatures reaching the 60sF but East and
NE winds quickly turned southerly which likely limited migration today.

A Peregrine Falcon was the highlight of an otherwise slow day dominated by
migrating Turkey Vultures.

Double-crested Cormorant:3
Cedar Waxwing: 22
Ring-billed Gull:1

Many dragonflies were also spotted

Predictions:
Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Southwest wind around 5 mph.

Some clouds should aid viewing
