Observation start time: 08:45:00 Observation end time: 16:15:00 Total observation time: 7.5 hours
Official Counter: Andy Dickson
Observers:
Visitors: Three neighbors to site #2 stopped by to inquire about the count and were very supportive of our effort.
Weather: Cloudless skies most of the day. Steady light winds began at WSW and gradually moved to WNW by the end of the count. Occasional high clouds aided the count. The count began near the lake shore and moved inland up the escarpment as the day progressed ending at #3 on Creamery Rd. Haze over Lake Erie prevented a view of the northern Canadian shore.
Raptor Observations: Good RT and BE showing. All BEs and most RTs were sub-adult.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Clear and cloudless again but with NE winds any flight should be modest. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andrew J.
