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. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maili Waters (<mailirwaters...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/
