Weather:
Today was overcast with some intermittent sprinkles. Winds were NNW at
10-15mph. Temps were in the upper 30s.

Raptor Observations:
There were a few local birds seen today, including a Northern Harrier and
an American Kestrel hunting over the marsh. The only migrating raptor today
was one single Turkey Vulture.


Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Cloudy in the morning, then on and off rain showers in
the afternoon. High of 47F. Winds will be ENE at 10-20mph. Given the wind
direction I expect very few, if any, birds to move. Friday will be mostly
cloudy with some sun and will have strong SW winds at 20-30mph (with some
stronger gusts). Temps will reach a high of 68F. I am expecting there to be
some migration on Friday. As long as the winds aren�t too strong for the
birds, there is potential for a good flight!
