1605 Unk, 1608 Ad(2), 1617 Ad, 1647 Ad, 1655 Ad, 1701 Unk. All but one of
the GEs were seen over BE Mt, one was over the foothills. The GEs started
flying as soon as the low clouds cleared, but 7 in morning and 51 in
afternoon. In the afternoon, some came in groups, sometimes with obscuring
clouds, and scattered across the sky, so challenging to keep track of, a
few may have been missed.

BE: 6 Ad, 8 Imm

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Sunday - predicted wind NW 8-11 mph, I expected continued GE movement, but
not as many
