Observers:

Visitors:
None


Weather:
Blue sky contrasted with white clouds,, unseasonably cold with temps
ranging 48-50F with NNE winds. We had a frost warning last evening.
Nonetheless, I decided to check our sites to see if anything was moving.

Raptor Observations:
Only 7 TV's were migrating. In addition, there was 1 local Bald Eagle, 2
local Red Tails, and a few local TV's going back and forth on the ridge.

Non-raptor Observations:
No non-raptors of any kind. Looking at the positives, it was a beautiful
day with a clear view of Lake Erie and the Canada shoreline.

Predictions:
Weather forecast for Wednesday, 05/21/2025: Steady rain in the morning
accumulating to .68 iinches. Showers continuing in the afternoon. High
58F. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 100%.. Locally heavy
rainfall at times is possible. Looks like a potential "no count day."
