Official Counter: Cindy Bickel
Observers: Molly McAninch, Steve McAninch
Visitors: Steve and Molly McAninch arrived late morning through the afternoon. Good conversations, not many birds to look at. Later in the afternoon Rosemary Blyer and English neighbor arrived via a convertible and visited for a spell. Hope they will come back and join the watch in the future.
Weather: Cold and blustery throughout most of the day. Cirrus clouds were plentiful to help see on-coming birds but they never came. Winds were variable, SE, SW, S and were not as predicted.
Raptor Observations: One local Red-tail Hawk observed escorting a migrating Red-tail with ariel combat included.
Non-raptor Observations: Nemo and friend made several appearances throughout the day. Local Turkey Vultures picked up later in the day. I saw only one in morning before 10 am. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Darrell Smith (<oleagleye...>)
