Thanks! Weather: Winds NE to NNE. Cloudy for duration. Raptor Observations: The flight never really developed, but there was a good variety of raptors-mostly AKs. For about six hours a young peregrine provided good entertainment by sporadically strafing everything from perched Osprey to Great Blue Herons. Non-raptor Observations: https://ebird.org/canada/view/checklist/S48334696 A few daytime Common Nighthawks showed up in the cloudy skies. Predictions: Light northeasterlies and sun giving way to cloud might provide for a Broad-winged flight. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sean D.
