Visitors:
41 to the platform to enjoy the view and beautiful weather, Craig McCoy.


Weather:
Temp = 13-17C/55-63F, light to moderate winds out of the NW, clear skies to
10% cloud cover at end of watch with more clouds moving in from west. Bit
of haze but visibility still good.

Raptor Observations:
The five migrants noted were all recorded by 11:15 and after that the skies
were pretty barren. Even the local raptors seemed to take a siesta after
11:30. A peregrine came in from the north, spent about 3-4 minutes soaring,
and headed back north and was not counted.

Non-raptor Observations:
Nothing particularly noteworthy

Predictions:
Current forecast showing very light rains from mid-morning to
mid-afternoon.
