Observers:

Weather:
Winds shifting during the day starting from the NNW turning to the E in the
afternoon. Warm temperatures with very high clouds as most planes were
beneath them. Clouds were somewhat wispy with some blue showing thru.

Raptor Observations:
Birds were Very High, often out of naked eye range. Mostly found by
scanning with binos high overhead. The flight at least was directly
overhead. I’m sure I missed many birds. Several Adult Bald Eagles Not
counted, seen several pairs sometimes 3 at a time. Seem to be a pair
escorting Single thur their territory.

Non-raptor Observations:
Several pieces of penndot equipment dropped off in parking lot, looks like
ditch cleaning or paveing in the next couple of days.
