Weather: Rain until after 10AM. Dense fog that didn't clear until 11AM. As soon as we could see, we were counting raptors. Wind gusts 30+ mph and at one point was averaging 20 mph. Light was at an angle that most birds looked black, making it difficult to ID and age birds.
Raptor Observations: Bald Eagles Unknown 1:28 Adult 1:30 Sub Adult 2:18 Golden Eagles Unknown 1:32, 2:11, 2:57
Non-raptor Observations: First birds of the day were 3 C Ravens attacking our Owl decoy. That show lasted 30ish minutes with likely the same Ravens coming back coming back for multiple attacks. Several Red-tailed Hawks also attacked the Owl.
Predictions: Rain showers early with overcast skies later in the day. High 56F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Erika Bowman (<dizzechick...>)
