Official Counter: Phil Keener

Observers:

Visitors:
~ 30, a couple asked about migration.


Weather:
Rather strong N winds to start slowly diminishing in strength as day went
on. Occasional swings to NW. Temp = 5-8C (41-47F). Heavy cloud cover =
95-98%, good visibility but dark clouded skies made spotting challenging at
times.

Raptor Observations:
Looks like the Kittatinny Ridge sites held most of the migrants today as
would be expected but some made it our way. Local raptor activity lower
than normal with exception of TVs.

Non-raptor Observations:
2 skeins of CAGO, a common raven.
