Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: John Mercer
Observers:
Weather: Not a cloud, not even a contrail all day. Winds building and mostly from the WNW or NW. Temperature climbed from the low 50's to the upper 60's.
Raptor Observations: Even the locals (except for vultures) did not come close. Locals included Turkey and Black Vultures, Red-tailed, Red-shouldered and Cooper's Hawks and Bald Eagle
Non-raptor Observations: Even the Tree Swallows were gone, nothing in the air to draw my eye except leaves, and plenty of them.
Predictions: Tomorrow will be another day of pure blue skies, temperatures climbing from the low 40's to the mid 50's. Winds will be from the North or NNW between 5 and 9 mph which should make it feel even cooler. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: www.rtphawkwatch.org
