Clear and cold with stinging NW wind 13mph and gusts to 21. Temperature was

Raptor Observations:
In the hour that I was there I recorded no migrating Raptors. 2 local Black
Vultures were present on the Starrett chimney. 12 local Turkey Vultures
rose up from their roosts, gained some altitude, and immediately dispersed.

A low pressure system will be in play for tomorrow with Snow likely
changing to all rain during the day. 1-2 inches of Snow possible. We will
not be conducting a Hawk Watch this day.
