Official Counter: Jerry McWilliams

Observers:

Visitors:
none


Weather:
Cloudy with rain at close of hawk watching, seasonably warm.

Raptor Observations:
I arrived late because of commitments, so I may have missed some birds, but
I did catch a decent flight of TVs just ahead of the rain. One local
Red-tailed Hawk that I watched capture a European Starling.

Non-raptor Observations:
Canada Goose 4, Rock Pigeon 5, Ring-billed Gull 1
Herring/Ring-billed gull 12, Hairy Woodpecker 1. Blue Jay 1, American Crow
6, Tree Swallow 4, Barn Swallow 1, European Starling 6

Predictions:
Cloudy band warmer with chance of showers in the PM, with a good SW wind,
so I expect at least vultures to pass through.
