Observation start time: 09:00:00
Observation end time: 15:30:00
Total observation time: 6 hours

Official Counter: Mike Tetlow

Observers: Ashley Deroo, Brenna Kinzel, Dan Funk, Luke Seitz,
Maili Waters

Weather:
SW winds for the first 4 hours until the rain came through. After the rain
cleared winds turned NW, then NNW.

Raptor Observations:
Good flight until the rain came. When rains cleared, more raptors moved
through, and were lower due to the more northerly winds.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Cloudy conditions will give way to a little sun later tomorrow. Winds will
be light and variable, so hard to say how much movement we'll see. Should
be some raptors up and about though.
