Raptor Observations: Conditions seemed ideal for migrating Raptors in the morning, but it was limited to a modest amount of a mixed bag of species; most came later in duration. A few Osprey did finally show along with a few Merlin, one of which was a male("Bluejack") that buzzed by the observation site! Local Raptors: TV-33, BE-4, OS-1, SS-2, CH-2, RT-8, AK-1
Predictions: Showers and Thunderstorms likely with SE winds 5-7mph with a high near 46'F.
