Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 14:00:00 Total observation time: 5 hours
Official Counter: Sue Barth
Observers:
Visitors: None
Weather: Temps in the 50's, winds stayed steady from the East, lots of rain that had a couple of breaks in the 4th and 5th hours - but they just weren't long enough to bring in any raptors. When the rain began again around 2pm (DST), I called it quits.
Raptor Observations: Only 3 migrating Turkey Vultures and a few local birds.
Non-raptor Observations: 2 Common Loons flew over, a couple of Yellow-rumped Warblers were in the woods, an Eastern Meadowlark gave some lovely song for a short while, and the usual birds at the pond were joined by a newly arrived Spotted Sandpiper.
Predictions: Things look much better: only a slight chance of a shower, temps in the 50's, and winds from the SW at 10-20mph. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sue Barth (<suebarth...>)
