Observers:

Visitors:
5


Weather:
Mostly sunny, temps in the low 30s. Winds out of the NW at 10-20mph.

Raptor Observations:
Today only had a few migrant birds that decided to battle the northwest
winds. Only 35 Turkey Vultures passed by the platform, which was a stark
contrast with yesterday. 1 Osprey and a couple Northern Harriers made their
way slowly by. 1 male Kestrel was feeding throughout the day along the edge
of the field.

Non-raptor Observations:
One Vesper Sparrow was feeding along the entrance road.

Predictions:
Cloudy with occasional rain in the afternoon. High of 43F. Winds out of the
east at 15-25mph with higher gusts. I expect very little movement.
