Observation start time: 08:00:00 Observation end time: 14:00:00 Total observation time: 6 hours
Official Counter: Maili Waters
Observers: Ann McMican, Daena Ford, Liz Lackey, Tim Willis, Vid Killius
Visitors: 8
Weather: Mostly sunny with temps in the mid 40s. Winds out of the ENE then from directly east.
Raptor Observations: Given the easterly wind direction, not many birds were moving along the lakeshore today. The count was done at Frisbee Hill, but even there the birds were scarce. We saw a total of 138 birds, including 60 Turkey Vultures, 28 Broad-wings Hawks, and 20 Sharp-shinned Hawks.
Non-raptor Observations: 1 Sandhill Crane and Frisbee Hill. 1 Fox Sparrow at the park.
Predictions: Tomorrow will have a mix of sun and clouds. Temps will reach a high of 62F. Winds start SW, then shift to NW at 5-10mph. There may be some Sharpies and Kestrels moving early. The wind shift to the NW is not ideal but there still may be some movement. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maili Waters (<mailirwaters...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/
