( Tom didn't catch your last name.. sorry ) Weather: Temps- 28-30 Deg.F Wind WNW 10-20mph Cloudy w/snow showers Raptor Observations: BE- 7 A great effort by the guys today but not many raptors to count. Heavy snow showers w/zero visibility at times shut down any possibilities of a decent flight. Steady/sustained snow over the Poconos in the pm. Thanks to Tom Campbell for sending in this report. Bird of the Day selection goes to the lone Merlin zipping by the watch site in some frigid conditions.
