Weather: Overcast throughout the day with east to southeast winds 3-12mph.
Raptor Observations: Great migration with close looks at broad-winged hawk, sharp-shinned hawk and the falcon trifecta, a young peregrine was the standout as it moved eye level past the lookout
Non-raptor Observations: Good warbler diversity with yellow-rumped, bt green, blackpole, and blackburnian warbler. Purple finch, wood thrush, dark-eyed junco, eastern towhee, scarlet tanager.
