Weather: Partly cloudy. Strong and gusty WNW winds. A few very strong gusts. Temps starting in the mid-50s and falling to the upper 40s.
Raptor Observations: Some high flying migrants but most were low. Turkey Vultures had a strong flight with 155. Moderate totals of most expected species. Two GOLDEN EAGLES in the 2pm hour. The first was a dark-winged bird that soared in front then glided by to our right. The second was an unaged bird that was distant over Sledding Hill.
Predictions: Tomorrow: Partly cloudy. High 47F. Winds WNW at 15-25mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40mph. Overall similar to today, with the winds not quite as strong. I would expect similar results. Expect moderate migration.
Tuesday: Cloudy. High 48F. Winds WNW at 5-10mph. Expect light to moderate migration.
Wednesday: Cloudy. High 48F. Winds NNE at 5-10mph. Expect moderate migration. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown (<davidebrownpa...>) Ashland Nature Center information may be found at: www.delnature.org
