Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 14:00:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: Craig Jackson
Observers: Bill Shapiro
Visitors: While there were some hikers who came through, the only visitor who helped me observe for an hour was Bill Shapiro
Weather: Strong (3-4, mostly 4) NW winds throughout the watch with maximum gusts beginning at 16 km/hr and increasing to 30, before tapering off to 22 km/hr. Cloud cover -- At the beginning of the watch, there was a mackerel sky covering 50% of the sky south of the watch while the north was totally blue sky. Soon however, cumulus clouds started building up in the northwest and started streaming rapidly toward the southeast. Soon, however, after the cumulus clouds had passed, cloud cover decreased such that at the end of the watch, the only clouds was a low band of clouds to the south. Temperature -- 17-20�C
Raptor Observations: Given the strong northwest winds (ideal winds for this site) I would have thought I might have had a decent movement. But only two possible migrants were seen. Non-migrating - 4 TV's, 1 CH, and 2 RT
Non-raptor Observations: One Green Darner Dragonfly and one other smaller dragonfly
Predictions: Light NW winds will shift toward the east tomorrow morning. Not promising for migration ======================================================================== Report submitted by Craig Jackson (<crleja1949...>)
