observation time: 1.75 hours

Official Counter: Craig Jackson

Observers:
Weather:
Moderate (2) W-WNW winds with gusts up to 21 km/hr; temperature -- 1-2°C;
Cloud cover -- 100 % -- in last 15 minutes of watch light snow flurries
started falling and I decided to leave earlier than originally planned

Raptor Observations:
No migrating raptors
One or two RT Hawks not migrating

Non-raptor Observations:
A Raven and a Gray-headed Junco were seen as well as Downy Woodpecker, BC
Chickadee, and Tufted Titmouse at the feeder

Predictions:
Tomorrow's SW-WSW predicted winds not particularly promising although they
will bring slightly warmer weather, and I plan to be on site. Thursday's
winds will shift toward the NW and continue into Friday and possibly
Saturday. These are the most propitious winds at this site, but I will not
be able to be on site on Friday. Hopefully, someone else will be able to
cover the site that day.
