Total observation time: 2 hours

Official Counter: Craig Jackson

Observers: Bill Shapiro

Visitors:
Greg Oxford on his first hawkwatch saw not only his first adult Bald Eagle,
but two others adults as well.


Weather:
Moderate (3-2) NW winds changing to ENE at 3 PM; Temperature -- 7-8° C;
Cloud cover -- 0% throughout the watch

Raptor Observations:
One migrating raptor - an adult Bald Eagle
Non-migrating -- 2 adult Bald Eagles (male and female soaring together), 1
probable RT

Non-raptor Observations:
birds - 30 Canada Geese

Predictions:
Tomorrow should be moderate winds from the north, which may bring some
migrants. Better conditions will occur on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
when moderate to strong winds will be from the northwest. I expect to be
on site for all four days, although I have an early morning appointment on
Friday and thus may not be on site until late morning that day
