Official Counter: Nicole Shangi
Observers: Chuck Sharbaugh, Chuck, Jim, Chuck, Jim,, Hugh Kent,
Jim McCoy, Liz Kent, Padbury, Karen
Visitors:
We thank Karen, Chuck and Jim for their spotting help today as well as all
our keen visitors as usual!
Weather:
The weather today was very hazy in the morning but cleared up to a sunny
day. The wind changed throughout the day from north component winds to
south.
Raptor Observations:
There were many sharpies again today with a mix of kestrels. There was a
few harriers too which were nice and close to see. Unfortunately there was
only one broad wing today.
Non-raptor Observations:
We are in the midst of the blue jay migration! We counted close to 10,000
today. There is still a large selection of warblers to view as well.
Predictions:
Tomorrow will be another warm day, hopefully with some northern winds. We
still hold out hope for more broad wings!
