Visitors:
We were gald to have Roger and Cynthia Baroody from Covington with us again
this week. They came for the entire watch. Thanks for your help.
Weather:
Blue sky day with winds from the NW and WNW from 1 > 2. Temperatures ranged
from 2.5C > 10C. No clouds, no rain with visibiltiy at 4.
Raptor Observations:
Very few birds almost none at all. Wondering if NE winter storms dampened
bird migration.
Non-raptor Observations:
TVs and Ravens were up. Every thing else down; knats, stink bugs and
leaves.
Predictions:
Same as today ... lots of bluy sky, light winds and plenty of sunshine.
Temperatures to begin in low 30s warming to mid 60s by end of watch.
