Visitors:
Paul and Mary Overbeck, Martha, Sarah and Bill.


Weather:
A pleasant day, temperatures climbing from the upper 60's to 80. Not as
many clouds as forecast but still enough to be useful. Winds were not NW as
forecast but mostly N, so day wasn't as good as hoped for.

Raptor Observations:
Another slow day. Best hour was two TV getting an early start on
migration. The usual locals: a kettle of 15 TV that did not go through, BV,
2 super distant BE, 3 RT put on a show near the end of the shift, 2
juvenile CH and one adult RS

Non-raptor Observations:
10 Canada Geese headed due south.
