Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 6.5 hours
Official Counter: Chris Pugliese, Dave Eberly
Observers: Dave Eberly
Visitors: Martha Dan Kirk
Weather: Light but steady south winds. Temperatures into the mid 70s. 100% clouds with just a little blue sky in the late afternoon.
Raptor Observations: Only two migrants spotted today: one juvenile Bald Eagle and a Cooper's Hawk that fled to the southwest after an aerial dogfight with two of our local Coops.
The first local red-tails were not seen until after 3 pm. This year's local Merlin perched atop a tree long enough for a visitor to get a good look.
Non-raptor Observations: A pair of flyover ravens
Predictions: There will be fewer clouds but a pesky SW wind. Temperature into the low 80s
