Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: Andy Dickson
Observers: Jess Clippinger, Mike Ceci
Visitors: Linda Barber, David Hunter and Jess Clippinger
Weather: Partial cloud cover and light southerly winds at the start of the count. Winds moved to SW, W and NW through the day. Thick cirrus clouds replaced the early cumulus clouds.
Raptor Observations: The watch began at #1a and ended at Parker Rd (#2). Raptors appeared in meaningful numbers in the fifth hour but otherwise it was a constant trickle of TVs throughout the day.
Non-raptor Observations: A lone Sand Hill Crane came through around 1:30 at the Parker Rd (#2) location.
Predictions: Rain and easterly winds should limit chances for a good flight. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andy Dickson (<adickson3...>) Ripley Hawk Watch information may be found at: www.facebook.com/groups/3193820734258889/
