Happy 50th Peter - hope you had a great day! Weather: A beautiful day for being outside but too hot on the top of the tower. Raptor Observations: Very few raptors migrating on the persistent south wind. Non-raptor Observations: A visitor to the tower early in the morning reported a godwit flew over and out onto the lake near dawn.
