Visitors: Rob
Weather: Foggy start that didn't lift fully until after noon, finally could see the hillside 3 miles away at 1220. The wind was from SSW to SW 8 to 11 mph making it a cool morning. By quitting time, it warmed into the mid 70's and almost no clouds left.
Raptor Observations: A local Cooper's came up in the fog at 9:30 and later, still in fog, two groups of TV. Other than the vultures, the migrants didn't start until fog cleared. Locals: CH, TV, BV, and RT
Non-raptor Observations: A flock of Canada Geese and another of Double-crested Cormorant.Did a checklist for part of the day. Checklist S402845392
Predictions: The forecast early in the week looked very promising, NW wind 10 mph, but now it has shifted to N 12 to 14 mph with clouds until noon and temperatures only making it into the low 50's. Maybe the front coming through tonight will push birds to us. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: bcdelco.org/activities/rose-tree-park-hawkwatch/
