Observation time: 0800-1200EST
Coordinator: Doug Lockrey
Official Counter: Doug Lockrey
Observers: Jim McKnight, Jim Skene, Dan Kacyzinski, Karl Jennewein, Sherry Lau
Lakefront weather conditions were not conducive to a flight of migrating
raptors--indeed, light SW wind, light off-and-on sprinkles, falling BP kept
everything quiet--not even the usual large flights of Canada Geese from the
fields to the north.
Non-raptor highlights--very few PINE SISKINS, a few TREE SPARROWS, 1 FOX
SPARROW, and a possible Grey-cheeked Thrush.

>lake to the second roadside parking area. From the 401 westbound--exit at
