Weather: Relatively light southerly winds greeted us all day. Not a wink of sunlight, and you could feel the dampness of the air in you bones. Raptor Observations: Relatively slow day today, highlight was a dark morph Roughie. The last 3hours of count only yielded 5 raptors. Non-raptor Observations: A total of 12 duck species were observed from the tower today, in big orders. Lots of Am. Coots as well (1550). About 330 American Crows were counted...though they were going the wrong way.. 112 Horned Lark were counted, as well as 113 American Robins. Also 78 American Goldfinch and 13 Pine Siskins.
