Observation start time: 09:30:00
Observation end time: 16:00:00
Total observation time: 6.5 hours

Official Counter: Nick Bolgiano

Observers: Bill Chambers, Ken Bowman, Linnéa Smeds, Robert McLaughlin

Weather:
Wind initially WSW, then W at 12 p.m., mostly 13-15 mph, overcast, temp
5-8C. Somewhat gloomy.

Good flight conditions didn't materialize like I thought would happen with
the switch to W wind.

Raptor Observations:
GE: 1521 Ad
BE: 2 Ad

The GE went low on the L and could easily have sneaked by us, but our
Swedish visitor was on top of it.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Next watch days, with predicted wind:

Thurs - WNW 15-18 mph;
Fri - WNW 8-12 mph;
Sun after rain - WNW 15-18 mph;
Mon - WNW 13-16 mph;

Favorable forecasts, especially Thurs, Sun, Mon. Should have good GE
flights, but I can't predict which day is best.
