Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 12:00:00 Total observation time: 3.75 hours
Official Counter: Brian Rusnica
Observers: Visitors: Kristen from Ashburnham and a few day hikers.
Weather: Fogged in until 10:30am EDT, then SW winds, overcast, and threatening clouds to our north and west which ended the count at 1pm. Raptor Observations: Just a handful of accipiters today; no signs of Broad-winged Hawks. Non-migrant Raptors: Turkey Vulture 15
Non-raptor Observations: Common Raven 8
Predictions: Forecast calls for 50% chance of rain throughout the day tomorrow, so we will not hold a watch. Thus ends my continuous coverage at Mt. Watatic after 13 straight - we'll try to come back up on the weekend if conditions are appropriate. If you count any raptors in the coming days at Mt. Watatic, please email me at <14hawks8owls...> with your sightings.
