Official Counter: Ed Chubb

Observers: Rosemary Spreha

Visitors:
Rather quiet visitor wise.


Weather:
Southerly light winds with warm temps getting into the 80's. Partly to
mostly cloudy conditions all day.

Raptor Observations:
Not much to report here with just 2 raptors all day. Not a big migration
effort to witness today.

Non-raptor Observations:
Olive sided Flycatcher still hanging around.

Predictions:
Hope for better conditions. Maybe the weather movement of late Wednesday
will help convince raptors of getting in the migration mood.
