Official Counter: Chuck Root

Observers:

Weather:
Hot with a nice mix of clouds and sun, but wind from SSW 4-12 mph

Raptor Observations:
A very poor day! At least the locals made a showing. Locals: RT, TV, CH,
RS, BV and a ML flying low and to the north

Non-raptor Observations:
a Pileated Woodpecker

Predictions:
Partly cloudy skies. High 72. Winds NE 5 to 10 mph, so more comfortable
than today. Hawk wise, it can't be worse than today, hopefully with the
weather approaching, hawks will try to move through tomorrow
