Weather:
Mostly cloudy becoming overcast; 67-70 degrees; good visibility;
winds southeasterly 8-9 mph

Raptor Observations:
With rain to our south and an east component in the wind, we
weren't betting on big numbers of migrants, but we did get a
modest flight and more than we were expecting. The count ended
when the skies became completely overcast.
