Official Counter: Craig Hedlund

Observers:

Weather:
Started cold and in the 40's but warmed up as the day progressed. Another
day with no clouds and Slight E to S winds.

Raptor Observations:
Oddly, even the locals did not show today, only TV and BE. Migrants were
scarce too.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Another mainly cloudless skies with warmer temperatures, climbing into the
mid 70's. Winds will be mostly from the W to NW at 10-15 mph, so there is
a better shot at getting migrants than there was today but they will be
hard to find in the blue skies. Extra eyes will be helpful.
