Weather:
Today was sunny with temps in the 20s and NNE winds at 15-20mph.
Raptor Observations:
Due to the northerly winds and the cold temps, only a handful of raptors
were on the move. The birds that did go by were moving very slowly into the
headwinds. 33 Turkey Vultures decided to brave the winds and power east.
The only other birds seen were 4 Bald Eagles and 1 Cooper�s Hawk.
Non-raptor Observations:
The strong winds plus the amount of heat shimmer made scoping the bay
almost impossible, and there weren�t many birds flying around.
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Partly cloudy with temps reaching a high of 34F. Winds
will be WNW at 15-25mph. I expect there to be a similar number of birds as
there was today. Sunday will be overcast with a high of 52F. Winds will be
SW at 10-20mph. It looks like there could be real potential for a good
flight as long as the overcast skies don�t damper it too much!
