Weather: Steady westerly winds throughout the count today. Very pleasant summer day, with temps approaching 80F. Cloudless skies. Nice to have a break in the humidity and rain today.
Raptor Observations: Steady and manageable flight today. Even though there were cloudless skies, the slightly stronger winds seemed to keep birds on a consistent line and viewable.
The flight tapered off greatly around 1 pm EST, and by 1:15 had really stopped.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Winds WSW at 10-15 mph are good, however there could be some showers or thunderstorms. Hope to get some birds in between those. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Daena D.
