Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 7 hours
Official Counter: David Brown
Observers: Andrew Bogush, Joe Swertinski, Kim Steininger, Lana Glass, Sally O'Byrne
Visitors: 12
Weather: Mostly sunny with light to moderate northwesterly winds. Fewer clouds as the day went on. Warm.
Raptor Observations: A good variety of raptors but not big numbers. We saw all expected raptor species for this time of year. The highlight was two peregrines (a juvenile in the morning and an adult at the end of the day). Only nine sharpies and 6 broad-wings. Many raptors probably went undetected due to high altitude against blue skies.
Predictions: Tomorrow: Considerable cloudiness. Occasional afternoon showers. High 78F. Winds light and variable. Expect light to moderate migration. Conditions will probably be better in the morning than the afternoon.
Sunday: Chance of a morning shower. Partly to mostly cloudy. High 79F. Winds NNE at 5-10mph. Expect light to moderate migration.
Monday: Cloudy. High near 80F. Winds ENE at 5-10mph. Expect light to moderate migration. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown (<davidebrownpa...>) Ashland Nature Center information may be found at: www.delnature.org
