Weather: Drizzle and gloom shortened the count on both ends. Otherwise cloudy with a few periods of sun. Light southeast winds.
Raptor Observations: The only migrants were a dozen Turkey Vultures, one Bald Eagle, and a Red-shouldered Hawk. Some other raptors up during the brief sunny periods.
Predictions: Tomorrow: After overnight rain a cold front will bring dry weather and increasing winds. Partly cloudy. High 49F with falling temps. Winds WNW at 15-25mph. Higher gusts possible. Good conditions overall for migration of larger raptors. Winds may become a bit strong for smaller raptors and may be uncomfortable for observers. Will probably feel quite chilly so bring an extra layer of clothes. Expect moderate migration.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy. High 56F. Winds WSW at 10-20mph. Expect light to moderate migration. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown (<davidebrownpa...>) Ashland Nature Center information may be found at: www.delnature.org
