Total observation time: 2 hours

Official Counter: Nate Marchessault

Observers:

Visitors:
5.


Weather:
Right around 9 C, overcast with moderate winds from the south. Rain
prevented counting for most of the day. Mostly dry during the count, other
than a quick downpour about an hour before the count ended.

Raptor Observations:
No migrants, one local red tail being robbed by a raven at one point.

Non-raptor Observations:
A couple of titmice and an American Crow were some unusual visitors from
the lowlands. A bunch of White-throated Sparrows and juncos made the time
up there lively, along with two cottontails and the usual chipmunks.

Predictions:
Winds still from the south but not raining so better than today for sure. I
predict greater than 0 migrating raptors?
