Official Counter: Maili Waters

Weather:
Mostly sunny, temps reached a high of 54F. Winds started from the north,
then switched to east. In the afternoon I was seeing some vultures inland,
so I moved to Frisbee Hill.

Raptor Observations:
Today was a beautiful day on the platform, despite the chilly wind coming
in off the lake. There were only a few birds on the move given the NE wins.
The day totals are 14 Turkey Vultures, 3 Broad-winged Hawks, and 1
Red-tailed Hawk.

Non-raptor Observations:
A striking Eastern Meadowlark landed in the freshly cut lawn directly in
front of the platform.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will have rain showers in the morning that will evolve into a more
steady rain in the afternoon. High around 55F. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph.
Given the rain forecast, there will probably be very few, if no birds
moving.
