Official Counter: Maili Waters

Observers: Daena Ford, Janis George, Rosemary Reilly

Visitors:
16


Weather:
A beautiful sunny day with highs in the low 50s. Winds out of the east at
5-10mph with some higher gusts. A lake breeze started around 1pm

Raptor Observations:
Overall low numbers but decent diversity with 7 species. 2 American
Kestrels, 5 Northern Harriers, and 12 Turkey Vultures represented most of
the birds. The rest were single birds, 1 Cooper's Hawk, 1 Sharp-shinned
Hawk, 1 Bald Eagle, and 1 Red-tailed Hawk.


Non-raptor Observations:
Duck numbers continue in the bay. A boat flushed everything up several
times which was quite the sight.

Predictions:
A mix of clouds and sun early, then becoming cloudy later in the day. High
of 64F. Winds out of the south at 15-20mph with higher gusts. I am
optimistic about tomorrow, there should be some movement.
