Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 14:30:00 Total observation time: 5.5 hours
Official Counter: Chris Pugliese
Observers: Bob Kelly
Visitors: Paul and Mary
Weather: Good amount of cloud cover, decent temperatures but SE to S winds
Raptor Observations: Highlight of the day was a four Osprey kettle. Locals: RT, RS, TV, BV, SS, BE and CH
Non-raptor Observations: A busy day at the park with two events going on fortunately not right were we watch. Helicopter landing was an dramatic event, but they did not deliver the asked for Peregrine Falcon.
Predictions: A front is coming through tonight, and should be out of here before the count starts. That should bring NW winds that could push the birds off of the mountains and to us. There will be a small chance of rain until around noon, therefore plenty of clouds. Temperatures will climb to the low 80's so there is potential for a decent flight. Counts in parts of New England did okay today, so maybe some will be here for us tomorrow. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: bcdelco.org/activities/rose-tree-park-hawkwatch/
