Total observation time: 5 hours

Official Counter: Alan Simon, Chris Pugliese

Observers: Alan Simon, Bob Kelly

Weather:
Pretty day with light NW winds. Temperature range: mid-40s to low 50s F.
Very few clouds.

Raptor Observations:
We like NW winds but they never got above B2 (4-7 mph), not many raptors
on the move over our site.

The usual local raptors included our seasonal resident Merlin.

Non-raptor Observations:
Congrats to Chris Pugliese. He missed his first hour of counting due to the
birth of his second granddaughter.

Thanks to Alan Simon for covering Chris's slot. .

Predictions:
Mostly cloudy with a high near 63�. Calm wind. Could be another slow one.
