Official Counter: Rob Woodward

Observers:

Visitors:
Just 2.


Weather:
Hazy, mostly overcast with increasing clouds; rain by 12:30; light W/SW
wind; 63 -72 F.

Raptor Observations:
Just one hawk when rain mercifully brought the count to a close. The only
consolation is that Pack's count was equally dismal.

Non-raptor Observations:
Two Turkey Vultures might have been migrants but they were on a SE
direction not SW or S.
Monarch - 4/59

Predictions:
If it doesn't rain, winds will be out of the NE then E, worth another
count.
