Weather: Rained all morning, started to lighted around noon, but didn't fully stop until 1pm. Warmest day so far with highs in the mid 50s. SSE winds at 10-15mph. At around 3pm the sun finally peeked through.
Raptor Observations: When the sun finally peeked through around 3pm we started to see a few migrant raptors. In the span of just over an hour we had a Red-tailed Hawk, a Turkey Vulture, a Merlin, a Bald Eagle, a Cooper's Hawk, and several Northern Harriers.
Non-raptor Observations: Right after the rain stopped, Tundra Swans and Canada Geese were on the move. Once the sun broke through there were several Killdeer and Horned Larks flying around.
Predictions: Cloudy and windy. Morning high of 39F with temps falling to near freezing. Winds west at 25-35mph with gusts of over 40pmh. I'm not expecting much movement tomorrow. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maili Waters (<mailirwaters...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/
