Official Counter: Darrell Smith
Observers: Ken Tucker
Visitors: A couple of site seers and one female on a motorcycle who picked up some trash on the Belleville side and brought it over and asked if we could dispose of it. Ken told her to put on the back of his truck.
Weather: Started out complete overcast cool and rather dark with good winds from the SE. About midday it started to clear and became quite sunny. The winds came from the S some later and then back to SE. The sun was warm after clearing.
Raptor Observations: 1 adult Bald Eagle late in the day migrating. We observed at least 5 Bald Eagles not migrating. Some came from behind us from the north and went south and others come from the south and then turned and went back. Some TV's and BV's not counted as migrating. A couple Red-tails and a Sharp-shin not counted as migrating. Nemo chasing and swiping at one Bald Eagle. We had hopes of at least one GE, but that didn't happen.
