Observation start time: 08:00:00
Observation end time: 12:00:00
Total observation time: 4 hours

Official Counter: Maili Waters

Observers: Mike Tetlow, Vid Killius

Visitors:
2


Weather:
Mostly cloudy with some afternoon sun. Temps in the 40s. Winds out of the
north at 15-20mph.

Raptor Observations:
Today was another slow day. A single flock of 11 Turkey Vultures spent the
morning contemplating whether to cross the marsh and head east. Eventually
they moved slowly east in the north winds. There was also 1 immature Bald
Eagle that flew by.

Non-raptor Observations:
Didn't see much else today. There were some Yellow Warblers in the bushes
by the parking lot.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will be generally sunny with a few afternoon clouds. High 56F.
Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. The wind direction is opposite of what the birds
want, so I expect very little movement.
