Weather: The weather today was a welcome experience with clear skies and temps ranging from 38-64âF.Mostly calm to variable winds with excellent visibility.
Raptor Observations: Raptors felt the morning sun and the migrants moved mostly single file north. Accipiters and Osprey controlled the flight, but a good variety as well. I witnessed in my scope the mating of a pair of Black Vultures. The male was easy to see with his wings extended to reveal the white in the primaries.
