Weather:
Temps in the 50's to near 70 with winds out of the southern quadrant.
Clouds that provided ample contrast in the blue sky for finding raptors.

Raptor Observations:


Non-raptor Observations:
Not the day that was expected. Fair sky's, winds and a good crew of
watchers could not find enough of what we were looking for...

Predictions:
Rains predicted with thunderstorm possibility in the afternoon. Probably
not a good day for raptor migration. Check your local weather "guessing"
source for timely forecast.
