Observation end time: 15:30:00
Total observation time: 6.75 hours

Official Counter: Craig Jackson

Observers: Carol Powers, Soheil Zendeh

Visitors:
Dawning Fu, a bird watcher from New Jersey, and the rest of the
Northeastern Outing Club were interested in finding out more about the
types of hawks seen on the Rock and our past records


Weather:
Moderate (3) NNW-NW winds throughout watch, with occasional gusts of 12-20
km/hr; Temperature went from 6° C to 11 ° C before dropping to 10° C at
the end of the watch; Cloud cover began at 0% and never got higher than 7%
until the last hour when clouds started moving in from the west covering
15% of the sky

Raptor Observations:
Migrating -- a small movement of raptors
Non-migrating -- one TV and several RT

Non-raptor Observations:
birds - one DE Junco

Predictions:
As I previously reported slightly stronger NW winds on Monday and Tuesday
may bring migrants. However, due to a prior commitment and doctor's
appointments I will not be able to be on site those days. NW winds will
continue for at least part of the day on Wednesday, when I expect to again
be on site.
