Observation start time: 08:00:00 
Observation end   time: 14:00:00 
Total observation time: 6 hours

Official Counter:        Keith Sealy

Observers:        Tom Stewart

Visitors:
Thanks to Keith S. and Tom S. for doing a count today.


Weather:
Winds were mainly SW and S for the day and light. Temp got to a high of 21C
and the humidity dropped away as drier air moved in with the big high
pressure system over the Great Lakes region.

Raptor Observations:
A much smaller flight today with just 29 birds ...mostly Sharpies (23)
along with a single N. Harrier and A. Kestrels (5).

Non-raptor Observations:
Blue Jays were the big story today in the other category with LOTS moving
through...although no actual estimate was recorded.
