Weather: Strong SSW winds gusting to 35mph diminishing slightly as the day progressed. Rain early that cleared by 9am. Dark grey overcast skies.
Raptor Observations: Very little movement. Wind shake added to the challenge of identifying what did appear. Entire count was conducted at site #1b on Forsythe bridge over I90. Flight followed I90.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Early rain, warm temps and moderate SW wind. 10-2 looks to be the window for a flight based on 2 forecasts. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andrew J.
