Official Counter: Nick Bolgiano

Observers:

Weather:
Wind WNW, mostly 4-6 mph, sky mostly cloudy in a.m., but mostly clear
100-230, temp 0-1C.

By 3 p.m., the sky was becoming overcast and the wind had dropped off.

Raptor Observations:
GE: 1315 Unk(2), 1336 Ad

BE: 2 Ad

The first two GEs appeared to be over the far AF foothills, the 3rd one was
over the near foothills. It is not surprising that the 3 GEs were seen over
the foothills when there was some wind off the Front and sun, a good
combination for seeing them there.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Next watch days with predicted wind:

Monday - WNW/NW 5-7 mph
Thursday - WNW 12-14 mph

The best time for a light wind day is when there is sunshine. Visitors
during Nov 29-Dec 13 must wear orange to and from the watch site.
