Weather:
Another beautiful sunny day with temps in the high 50s. Winds WSW shifting
to NW in the afternoon.

Raptor Observations:
A great day for diversity with 11 different species of raptors! The first
bird of the day was the first of the season American Kestrel. Turkey
Vultures were the most abundant species with 84 individuals. Red-shouldered
Hawks were also numorouse with 26 individuals. The highlight of the day was
a Golden Eagle that flew over the platform providing us with some great
views! We also saw 3 different Rough-legged Hawks, although they were not
as accommodating as the Golden Eagle.

Non-raptor Observations:
Lot of Canada Geese were moving, but unlike the past couple days, we only
saw one small flock of Snow Geese.

Predictions:
Overcast, high of 33F. Winds ENE at 10-20mph. Not good conditions for
migration, I doubt anything will move.
