Visitors:
Parkway was busy today with several folks turning into the watch and asking
questions. Great help today from Phillip, Garland K, John, Darryl, Dillard,
Barry, Tim and Sue, Bill A and Katie, Sharon. I am sure I missed a few.
Weather:
Started at a pleasantly chill 59F and rose to a pleasant 76F. Wind was NW
to N at 1 to 2. Cloud cover was 50% to start. It remained mostly sunny
after that. Visibility was a 5. Very little haze today.
Raptor Observations:
Most birds were distant and to the West. ABE's - 2 @ noon and another at
2:40P. More BW's today, but no kettles as yet.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
Cool start, but warmer overall. Hopefully more BW's.
