Some dark and gray skies both over head and in the background. With some fog in the background too. Visibility was mostly clear besides this. Wind was from 0-8mph, and went anywhere from Southwest to Southeast. Then at times at the same time it could be more West and East. Raptor Observations: No migratory raptors today at all. Non-raptor Observations: Hardly any other movement of anything else. Not much around at all. Predictions: I guess it will be slow Friday with more West-Southwest winds and chances of rain around noon. But odder things have happened so maybe it will turn out OK... ======================================================================== Report submitted by Seth Cutright ([email protected]) SMRR- Lake Erie Metropark information may be found at: http://www.smrr.net/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
