Weather:
There was drizzle today, but we did not experience the heavy rain that had
been predicted. Strong and gusty winds were from the east northeast, with
cloudy skies and temperatures in the high seventies during the count.
Raptor Observations:
Slow, with a few Ospreys and other birds flying low past the platform.
Non-raptor Observations:
The hummingbird feeders continue to be a big hit, with many visitors! Two
Great Egrets passed by.
