Official Counter: Chris Pugliese, Tom Bush
Observers: Chris Pugliese, Debbie Beer, Tom Bush
Visitors: Dick Rainier
Weather: Early morning rain delayed the count until 10:30. Winds mostly 12 to 16 mph from the NNW bringing a few birds. Cloudy much of the day, clearing late in the day.
Raptor Observations: As has been the pattern, very high again. Locals: TV, BV, CH and RT.
Non-raptor Observations: Several groups of Canada Geese heading south plus one Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Blue Jays, Swifts and Swallows continue to monopolize the skies.
Predictions: Unfortunately, the winds will move to the NE from 8 to 12 mph. Skies will be mostly clear, so spotting birds will be challenging for when the Radnor Middle School students visit. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: https://bcdelco.org/activities/rose-tree-park-hawkwatch/
