Official Counter: Craig Jackson

Observers: Carole Powers

Visitors:
Steve Springer, Mark Schreiber, Melissa Guidry, Tim O'Keefe, and Julie Beck
all stopped to talk with me about hawk watching


Weather:
Light (1-2) NW-NNW winds with maximum gusts of 14 km/hr until noon when
they became more variable. Temperature -- 14-21°C; Cloud cover -- 1-7%
(3% most of the day)

Raptor Observations:
Migrating -- only 2 Osprey
Non-migrating -- One Turkey Vulture, and at least 5 Red-tailed Hawks

Non-raptor Observations:
Birds - Five Canada Geese; a pair of Ravens, and 15 Cedar Waxwings

Predictions:
The mornings light NNW winds are predicted to turn to the SE in the
afternoon. Not a promising forecast although I'm still hoping Ospreys will
be on the move.
