Weather:
Partly cloudy with temps in the low 40s. Winds out of the NW at 10-15mph.

Raptor Observations:
What a difference a day can make! Today was pretty quiet compared with
yesterday. A total of 62 raptors passed by on their way around the lake.
There were 28 Turkey Vultures, 23 Bald Eagles, and 4 Red-tailed Hawks. 3
Northern Harriers, 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, and 1 American Kestrel also
decided to continue their migration today.

Non-raptor Observations:
No new birds came in last night.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will be cloudy with occasional rain showers in the afternoon. High
58F. Winds E at 10-15mph. Chance of rain 50%. I don't expect much, if
anything to move tomorrow. However, Friday is looking promising for a good
flight.
