Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 14:30:00 Total observation time: 5.5 hours
Official Counter: Kate Ebersol
Observers: Mike Ceci, Sherry Mattison
Weather: Cloudless skies all day. Southerly winds.
Raptor Observations: Not a big flight but worth counting and spending a beautiful day over lookng Lake Erie. Kate Ebersol and Sherry Mattison managed the count from site #2. Mike Ceci joined the fun midday. Perfect example of volunteer teamwork! Anticipation is building for the mid-April raptor extravaganza.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Warmer temps, dropping pressure and southerly winds turning SW later in the day. Rain arriving late afternoon may push birds through. Devin and Andy are scheduled to count but the more eyes, the merrier. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andrew J.
