Total observation time: 5.17 hours

Observers: Brenna Kinzel, Bridget Watts, Daena Ford, Dan Funk

Visitors:

Weather:
Light SW winds to start the day, but a light NE lake breeze dominated the
rest of the day. Winds stayed light and southerly inland, and fortunately
the lake breeze wasn't too strong to keep the birds away.

Temperatures reached 84 F at the bay, and were warmer inland.

Raptor Observations:
1 Bald Eagle during the 10-11 hour was a third year bird.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
The rain has gone almost completely out of the forecast now. Similar
conditions as today with light and variable winds, and temps in the low
80's F. Could be another productive day.
