(No count conducted today)



Weather:
Light rain mist in the morning hours. On the drive up to the count site a
heavy fog had socked in along the ridge of Blue Mountain starting at about
the 1,000 ft elevation. Despite hunkering down in the parking lot for most
of the morning the stubborn fog persisted. In the 13:00 hour rain
developed. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching the North Bound
Lehigh Tunnel Web Cam to see if the fog had lifted on Blue Mountain. No
count was initiated due to the persistent fog and rain showers late in the
day.

Raptor Observations:


Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Mostly cloudy, with a high near 70. Northeast wind around 10 mph, with
gusts as high as 20 mph.
