Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 13:30:00 Total observation time: 5.5 hours
Official Counter: Darrell Smith
Observers: Joe McDonald, Mary Ann McDonald
Visitors: Joe and Mary Ann McDonald visited and helped spot for me. Mary Ann has many ties to the Martinsburg Area where I am from. A couple from Lancaster. Many Leaf Peepers after the fog lifted.
Weather: Completely fogged in to start. A little later the winds picked up out of the south at about 10-15mph. The mountain finally cleared about 10:55. The winds were predominantly South during the day, ending light and variable. A rain front arrived about 1:30 that ended the watch.
Raptor Observations: Imm. GE at 12:55. Local TV's, BV's and Red-tails. A small but good mixture during the watch.
Non-raptor Observations: Local Ravens including Nemo. Migrating Bluejays. Red-Bellied WP.
Predictions: NNW Winds predicted. Not the best winds for Jacks but expect some raptors will be moving after the rain showers of today. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Darrell Smith (<oleagleye...>)
