Checklist">https://ebird.org/checklist/S217762506</a></b>

Raptor Observations:
Raptor movement was slow, with the last 2 hours bringing the most birds.
The best bird of the day was a light morph Rough-leg seen in the 4th hour.
Turkey Vultures numbered 103 along with 10 migrating Red-tails and 1
sharpie. The pair of local Red-tails were seen on and off...

Non-raptor Observations:
Over 400 Canada Geese flew over, 3 flocks of Tundra Swans tallied 91, a
quick flyover of 14 Cedar Waxwings, and 1 Eastern Meadowlark was nice to
find out on the back lawn.

Predictions:
Looks like more of the same as today but with a little stronger WSW winds
and slightly higher temps.
