Weather: The morning started out sunny with light west winds and temps in the low 40s. However, it quickly clouded over and the winds shifted to the NE and increased to 10-15mph. Around 12:30pm the rain started and lasted for the rest of the day.
Raptor Observations: There was a small push of birds before the clouds rolled in, then a second tiny push right before the rain. Broad-winged Hawks (86), Turkey Vultures (57), and Sharp-shinned Hawks (43) made up almost the entirety of the flight. There were also 7 Bald Eagle, 6 Northern Harriers, and 2 Red-tailed Hawks for a total of 201 birds for the day.
