Weather: Strong (3) NW winds throughout the watch, with gusts up to 26 km/hr. Cloud cover -- For almost the entire watch the cloud cover was over 90% with a little blue showing in the NW, but a low cloud layer covering almost the entire sky. Only in the last hour did the sky begin to open up some.
Raptor Observations: Smaller number of migrant raptors than I would have expected given the wind conditions. Until the last hours of the watch almost all migrating raptors were flying low, sometimes below the trees. Temperature - the temperature stayed around 12-13� C the entire time Non-moigrating -- at least one BE; several CH; at least four different RT; and one PG
Non-raptor Observations: 12 Canada Geese
Predictions: Winds from the NNW are predicted to become less and less strong until mid-afternoon. Hawks still in the pipeline may come through ======================================================================== Report submitted by Craig Jackson (<crleja1949...>)
