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

Official Counter: Chris Pugliese

Observers: Alan Simon, Bob Kelly

Weather:
Another beautiful day and the birds enjoyed it too. NW wind with
temperatures only reaching the upper 70's, almost perfect cloud cover, you
would have a hard time finding a better weather for hawk watching.

Raptor Observations:
Best day of the year, a nice mix of species

Non-raptor Observations:
.

Predictions:
Another nice temperature day but the winds will shift from the NW to NNE
and less cloud cover, so probably not as productive as today, but still has
potential, birds are moving.
