Weather: Sunny; 34-70 degrees; fair to good visibility with fog/haze; winds calm at first then switching over to the SE and ending up from the SW, 0-10 mph
Raptor Observations: Once the wind picked up a decent flight of eight species ensued. A local Peregrine Falcon was seen flying about a couple of times. Four more Ospreys today. An adult Bald Eagle chased a Ring-billed Gull that appeared to have a small fish in its mouth.
