Weather: Sunny becoming mostly cloudy in the late afternoon. Moderate NW winds weakening by the afternoon. Quite warm in the afternoon.
Raptor Observations: The best flight so far this season. Osprey were most numerous with 19. A moderate Buteo flight including 5 Broad-winged Hawks. Five kestrels. The season's first Merlin and Northern Harrier came through in the last hour.
Predictions: TOMORROW: Considerable clouds early with some decrease later. High around 80F. Winds N at 5-10mph. A good wind direction. The clouds may delay the thermals a bit, but I would expect some migration and a pleasant day.

MONDAY: Generally sunny with a few afternoon clouds. High 79F. Winds light and variable. Moderate conditions. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown (<davidebrownpa...>) Ashland Nature Center information may be found at: www.delnature.org
