Weather: We had clear skies today with south/southeast winds 0-13 mph and temps between 43-62âF. Visibility was excellent with distant haze. Infinite deep blue sky.
Raptor Observations: The movement of migrants we had was brief as Broad wings were rising and peeling quickly. Coopers Hawks stole the show with 3 dogfighting together for a bit. Itâs apparent that west is the best wind here at Adams Farm. âBlue Deathâ sky was a problem today.
