Official Counter: Jerry McWilliams
Observers:
Visitors: None
Weather: Clear and unseasonably cold, light SW wind.
Raptor Observations: Vultures started moving low and close to the lake at start time with small groups passing almost continuously. I had to limit my time today because of a family medical procedure, otherwise I suspect the flight continued in this manner until the winds shifted to the west later in the day.
Non-raptor Observations: Canada Goose 7, European Starling, Red-winged Blackbird, American Robin, Ring-billed Gull, Herring Gull, Tree Swallow 1, unidentified Passerines 6, Common Grackle, American Crow, Rock Pigeon 1, Mourning Dove 2.
Predictions: Warmer with SSE wind and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. I suspect birds moving close to the lake, at least in the morning before rain arrives. Jerry McWilliamsErie, Erie County, <Pa.jerrymcw...>
