Official Counter: Nick Bolgiano

Weather:
Wind NW 5-12 mph, mostly overcast, temp 37-41F. Today, like several other
days from 2025 with light to moderate NW winds, it seemed like birds were
extra high without thermals and getting a boost from an enhanced updraft.

Raptor Observations:
GE(18): 928 Ad, 937 Ad, 1003 Ad, 1033 Ad, 1052 Ad, 1057 Unk, 1145 Ad, 1147
Unk, 1154 Ad, 1216 Unk, 1226 Sub, 1231 Unk, 1302 Unk(2), 1426 Unk, 1510 Ad,
1516 Ad, 1550 Ad. All of the GEs were over BE Mt, many very high and 7
unaged for that reason.

BE: 2 Ad, 2 Imm

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Saturday: wind WNW 10-14 mph, I expect a similar flight to today.
Sunday: wind NW 8-11 mph, should see GEs.
