Official Counter: Maili Waters

Visitors:
1


Weather:
Cloudy and windy with temps in the 30s. Winds out of the WNW at 25-35mph.
Occasional snow flurries throughout the day.

Raptor Observations:
Despite the cold winds and cloudy skies, three brave Turkey Vultures
decided to migrate. Otherwise, the only other raptors seen were two local
Bald Eagles and a Northern Harrier feeding over the marsh.

Non-raptor Observations:
Not much was active today. Didn't scope the bay.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will be sunny with a high of 51F. Winds WNW at 10-15mph. I expect
some bird to be on the move.
