Weather: Another chilly day with temps in the mid-30s. Snow flurries in the morning with cloudy skies turning to mostly sunny skies in the afternoon. Winds were NW at 15-25mph.
Raptor Observations: Not many migrating raptors today due to the cold temperatures and the northerly component to the winds. There were a total of 78 birds, the majority of which were Turkey Vultures. The highlight of the day was when an immature Golden Eagle flew right over the parking lot!
Non-raptor Observations: Not many birds were around today. There was one Sandhill Crane that flew over multiple times, always heading in a different direction. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maili Waters (<mailirwaters...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/
