Official Counter: Rob Woodward

Observers:

Visitors:
Just 8. If there is a correlation between number of visitors and number of
raptors....


Weather:
Hazy, clear to start with some high thin clouds moving in with some
cumulus; light NE wind to start followed by SE winds after 12:30; 63 - 76
F.

Raptor Observations:
Not a big count today for either Pack or Alton Bay. Weather conditions in
the morning were essentially identical to yesterday but the hawks weren't
biting, especially after the mid-day wind shift. No kettles to speak of,
instead a lot of singles, doubles, and triples.

Non-raptor Observations:
Monarchs 6/43

Predictions:
South winds tomorrow gives me the day off. Thursday the count resumes with
W winds.
