Weather:
Snow in the morning, lasting until noon. Partly sunny in the afternoon with
temps holding steady at 28F. Winds were strong out of the WNW at 20-30mph.

Raptor Observations:
The only raptors seen today were 8 Turkey Vultures and 1 Red-tailed Hawk.


Non-raptor Observations:
One Fox Sparrow was seen from the parking lot.

Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Mostly sunny with temps reaching a high of 46F. Winds
will be ESE at 10-15mph. Given the easterly component to the wind I am not
expecting high numbers of birds to be moving. However, Thursday looks like
it has very promising weather with winds out of the SSW at 15-25mph and
temps reaching a high of 65F. I am expecting there to be a good flight of
vultures with other raptors mixed in!
