Visitors: Sam Stull and I manned the watch today. Visitors included Michele Franz and Jimmy Mars.
Weather: Same as yesterday with variably cloudy skies and unseasonably warm, but a wind shift from the SW to the west.
Raptor Observations: There was burst of activity between the 0900 EST and 1000 EST hour when a couple of nice groups of BWs passed through and a bit of an uptick in vulture numbers from yesterday. Unfortunately, heavier cloud cover and wind off the lake shut the lakeshore flight down at the top of the 1100 EST hour.
