Wind NE 8 to 12 mph most of the day with no clouds, making for tough spotting Raptor Observations: Nothing special, the usual locals: TV, RT, ML, CH, BE, and RS Non-raptor Observations: Two Ravens and one early Monarch. Did a checklist for part of the day. View this checklist online at https://ebird.org/checklist/S404750243 Predictions: A nice day for a Bark in the Park, but not so good for Hawk watching. Will be crowded, and may need to watch from the berm. Weather similar to today but slightly warmer, light NE winds and no clouds. ======================================================================== Report submitted by John Mercer (<mercer1135...>) Rose Tree Park information may be found at: bcdelco.org/activities/rose-tree-park-hawkwatch/ More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=105
