Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 12:00:00 Total observation time: 3 hours
Official Counter: Christopher Hollister
Observers:
Visitors: None.
Weather: Unfavorable conditions for hawk watch/raptor migration. Unseasonably cold, persistent WNW winds, intermittent snow showers. I consulted with the Hawk Watch organizer and decided to pull the plug at 1:00pm local/Daylight Saving Time.
Non-raptor Observations: Birds: Nothing particularly noteworthy. Two personal FOY species (blue-gray gnatcatcher and northern house wren). Only Canada geese and one mallard on the pond. Link to eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S324800874.
Other wildlife: Three white-tailed deer. (Note: We are in Daylight Saving Time, but HMA registers in Eastern Standard Time. So notwithstanding the times recorded here, I observed from 10:00am-1:00pm local time.)
Predictions: Improving conditions for tomorrow. Cloudy skies. Turning warmer. High 57F/14C by mid-afternoon. Winds from the south at 10-15mph/16-24kph. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Christopher Hollister (<cvh2...>)
