Official Counter: Phil Keener
Observers: Chad Erhardt, Craig McCoy, Donna Paley, Fred Paley, Ken Orvis, Randy Phillips
Visitors: Three.
Weather: Sunny, with minimal cloud cover, 2-20%. Winds consistent out of NNW at 5-10mph with gusts. Temp: 20-22C, excellent visibility with minimal haze. Despite the consistent ground level wind, clouds did not seem to be moving as much as one would expect.
Raptor Observations: A productive day for this site. Largest kettle of broad-wings was 40 birds. Kettling seemed to be a challenge at times as consistent strong winds seemed to disperse some of the various groups kettling efforts. Nice variety of species overall. As always, local BV, TV, red-tailed and bald eagle activity.
Non-raptor Observations: Not much else, chimney swift activity increasing in pm. Monarchs - 21 ======================================================================== Report submitted by Parks Volunteer (<parks...>)
