Official Counter: David Brunstetter
Observers: David Kirk, Joyce Holt
Weather:
Nice and clear with visibility a 5 all day. Wispy clouds gave way to 95%
clear for the afternoon. Westerly winds quickly turned SE with a speed of
1-2. Temperature started at 4C and warmed to 12C.
Raptor Observations:
All hawks on the East side.
Non-raptor Observations:
TV's and black vultures up in the afternoon. A rant of 7 ravens, plus
eastern bluebirds, dark-eyed juncos, a downy woodpecker, and Carolina
wrens.
Predictions:
Colder and wetter. Good luck with that. Winds should be NNW if the hawks
get a chance to fly.
