Cloudy with temps in the mid 50s. Very windy with west winds at 25-30mph.
Some occasional sprinkles in the morning then steady rain between 10-11:30.


Raptor Observations:
There is not much to report today. Before the rain hit, a total of 5 Turkey
Vultures and 1 Northern Harrier slowly made their way past the platform.
After the rain, it was very windy and no birds were seen.

Non-raptor Observations:
One Ruddy Duck and one Lesser Scaup continue to linger in the bay.

Tomorrow will have partly cloudy skies. High 56F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.
I don't expect much to move with the cooler temps and NW winds.
