Observation start time: 07:45:00 Observation end time: 15:00:00 Total observation time: 7.25 hours
Official Counter: Craig Jackson
Observers: Visitors: Tom Cosgrove and Bill Shapiro helped me observe for over an hour
Weather: Strong (3) NNE winds throughout most of the day with maximum gusts of 25 km/hr and all recorded gusts over 12 km/hr. Temperature -- 11-16-15°C; Cloud cover -- a bank of cumulus clouds on the SE horizon began to move in slowly, but then was replaced by patchy cumulus clouds that moved in from the NE; clouds never covered more than 15% of the sky.
Raptor Observations: Very few migrants Non-migrating -- 3 Turkey Vultures and 4 Red-tailed Hawks (an adult, 2 immatures and ?)
Non-raptor Observations: Birds -- flock of at least 50 Canada Geese (possibly more); 3 Ravens (including a pair); one Dark-eyed Junco (first of year), and one Grackle
Predictions: Continued NE winds tomorrow are not favorable, and I probably will not be on site. Friday begins a couple of days with SW and westerly winds. Saturday those winds may have a shift to moderate NW winds which would be even better. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Craig Jackson (<crleja1949...>)
