Weather:
The only good thing I can say about today's weather is that it was
consistent. Consistently bad! The park today was encased in ice, so much so
that I couldn�t safely get up the platform ramp, so I conducted the watch
from the parking lot. It was overcast and foggy all day with temps in the
30s. The wind was out of the ENE at 5-10mph. It never rained, but it was
often misting lightly during my time at the park.
Raptor Observations:
None
Non-raptor Observations:
4 American Crows, a few Mute Swans, some gulls flying around and not much
else!
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: In some ways it will kind of be the opposite of today.
The weather will be changing a lot throughout the day. It might start off
drizzly early in the morning, but it should become partly sunny as the day
progresses. The afternoon might have some scattered thunderstorms bringing
along some stronger wind gusts. The temps will start in the low 50s and
reach a high in the mid 60s. The winds will be out of the SW at 10-20mph.
I�m hopeful there will be some raptor movement tomorrow. It is still early
in the season so numbers could be relatively low. However, we might see a
few more Rough-legged Hawks, Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, and Turkey
Vultures!
