Weather:
A lot of cloud cover for the first part of the count, but then a nice
amount of clouds. Temperatures only got into the low 79. Winds were ENE
to E 4 to 7 mph

Raptor Observations:
Some of yesterday's BW did come through this morning, but the numbers dried
up after about two hours.
Local: RT, RS, BV, TV SS, BE and CH

Non-raptor Observations:
200 Chimney Swift. A very loud event was going on in the area of the count
so it had to be moved to the berm.

Tomorrow will most likely be a washout, high chances of rain and another
loud event.
