Observation start time: 09:00:00 Observation end time: 14:00:00 Total observation time: 5 hours
Official Counter: Andy Dickson
Observers: Kyle Brock
Weather: Cloudless skies, cool temperatures and intermediate westerly winds.
Raptor Observations: Very little movement. The UE recorded had a distinct tail band and discernible but not prominent white markings at the base of the primaries. However, the dark terminal tail band was narrow. Head looked small. Kyle thought it had a flat BE dihedral.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions: Wednesday: Partly cloudy, not as cold, light southerly winds flipping to northerly along the lake plain. Hard to say if birds are in the pipeline or if a flight will take place.
Thursday: Warmer with more favorable SW winds. Better chances a flight will take place. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Andrew J.
