Most of the GEs were in the afternoon. The 4 early GEs flew low along the NW side of BE Mt. Most of the rest flew along BE Mt above the horizon. #23 was over the AF foothills. The last 2 nearly slipped past us, #25 went over high and #26 slipped around to the R and John spotted it after it was past us. At one point, there were 6 eagles in the sky and 1 apparently slipped past us.
Non-raptor Observations: Canada Goose-779
Predictions: Next watch days, with predicted wind:
Saturday - 7-8 mph WSW/W Monday - 6-8 mph NNW
A marginal wind forecast for both days. Next Thursday, 12/11, may be better wind. I think there are still a good number of GEs to come. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Nick Bolgiano (<nickbolgiano...>)
