Official Counter: Andy Dickson
Observers:
Visitors: None
Weather: Cold, cloudy and WNW winds to start. Temps rose and wind became westerly. Clouds retreated along the lake shore in the afternoon allowing warming in the lake plane and a small flight to develop along Rt 20.
Raptor Observations: Very little movement most of the day with some afternoon activity. First osprey of the season came through in the afternoon. Began the day atop the escarpment but moved to the lake plane in the afternoon. Local BEs crisscrossed the count locations throughout the day.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Brisk ESE winds early moving to SE. Cloudy early with some clearing in the afternoon. It's a long shot for a flight. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andrew J.
