Winds were brisk out of the North and the temp hovered around 8 C. Raptor Observations: A brief run of birds when the rain quit for a while. We finished off with a lovely view of a Sub-Adult GE close overhead. Non-raptor Observations: The usual water fowl in the marsh. Very few passerines moving. Predictions: Showers ending by dawn with overcast skies and NW winds. The winds are forecast to become WNW around noon with the possibility of a little sunshine breaking through the statocumulus deck. Temps will be cool with the high around 5 C. Tails, Shoulders and Goldens should be on the move. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Claude Radley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Holiday Beach Migration Observatory information may be found at: http://hbmo.org/
