Observation start time: 08:30:00 Observation end time: 11:00:00 Total observation time: 2.5 hours
Official Counter: Jerry McWilliams
Observers: Russ States
Visitors: Russ States covered the watch for the first hour then I arrived to assist. Julie Leonard, Brian Berchtold, Sam Stull, and Lisa stopped about the time we were ready to shut down for the day.
Weather: Cloudy with light SSW and occasional rain, but mild.
Raptor Observations: Many Blue Jays and blackbirds
Non-raptor Observations: There was a short burst of activity until the heavy rain started. There was a big push of TVs just ahead of the rain. Most were flying just a bit south of the watch.
Predictions: There may be a flight tomorrow between thunderstorms, since it will be warm with a WSW wind. However, the wind direction might keep any migrating hawks a bit away from the lake. Jerry McWilliamsErie, Erie County, <Pa.jerrymcw...>
