Observation start time: 09:00:00
Observation end time: 17:00:00
Total observation time: 8 hours

Official Counter: Mike Tetlow

Observers: Dan Niven, Jen Lang

Weather:
Started mostly cloudy with some wildfire haze. Forecast W/SW winds were
just West. Gradual clearing but surprising lake breeze slowed the flight at
1:00 EST and stopped it from the 2-3 hour. A strong switch to W/SW got the
birds moving again in the last 2 hours.

Raptor Observations:
A decent late juvenile Broad-wing flight and a great, mostly juvenile Bald
Eagle movement, especially when the wind got strong from the W/SW.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Cool with WNW winds so we won’t be out.
