Weather:
The morning started off mostly cloudy with SSE winds at 10-15mph. At noon,
a snow squall came through and lasted about two hours. The sun made a brief
appearance around 3pm but it clouded back over within 30 minutes.
Raptor Observations:
The only birds moving were two Northern Harriers. At noon, a heavy snow
squall came through and lasted about two hours. The sun then made a brief
appearance around 3pm but it clouded back over within 30 minutes. After the
snow, there were 5 Bald Eagles, 4 Northern Harriers, and two Turkey
Vultures.
Non-raptor Observations:
Other birds included three Sandhill Cranes, a Bonaparte�s Gull, and a
continuing mix of ducks on the bay.
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Windy. Snow in the morning will taper off by the
afternoon. Winds will be from the west at 25-35mph. Temps in the mid 30s
and it will remain cloudy all day. With the strength of the winds and the
overcast skies, I am not expecting much, if any, raptor migration.
