Official Counter: Craig Hedlund, John Mercer

Visitors:
John Hand


Weather:
Hot, temperature up to 87 degrees. Poor winds, mainly from the SSW, so
right in the migrants face. Clouds finally built up in the afternoon, but
it didn't help much.

Raptor Observations:
Mostly Osprey were trying to buck the winds today. Locals include: BE, BV,
TV, CH, RS, RT, and an Osprey that looked like it was trying but took a
left turn and headed to Tinicum

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Tomorrow should be similar to today, but with the winds shifted from SSW to
W. There should be more clouds if the forecast is correct, so that might
help keep the raptors in the visible range.
