Observers:

Visitors:
Just some site seers.




Weather:
A cool day with low overcast clouds all day with 8-12mph winds from the
West & NW.

Raptor Observations:
Adult GE's 10:11, 11:22 & 3:52.
Imm. GE's 1:34
5 BE's not migrating.
I saw 3 Suspected BE's dropping out of the clouds and going north. I didn't
see any migrating. I suspect there were other birds going south that I did
not see because of the low Cloud cover. All birds seen were relatively low.

The 11:22 GE put down its landing gear as it passed going south and was
gliding downward probably seeing a possible meal. A Merlin not migrating
going north.

Non-raptor Observations:
Many small birds migrating that I could not identify. Several ravens
including Nemo. He was very talkative today and helped watch for GE's.

Predictions:
Cold and cloudy with WNW winds at 15 to 25 mph. Higher gusts possible.
