Weather:
Cloudy, with temps in the 40s. Winds out of the east at 10-15mph. Rain
started around 2pm and lasted about 20 minutes.

Raptor Observations:
Today was a slow day. Only 10 individual birds decided to fight the east
wind and migrate. The flight consisted of 7 Turkey Vultures and 3 Bald
Eagles. Hopefully tomorrow will be more fruitful.

Non-raptor Observations:
The fist Gray Catbird of the season was singing by the parking lot.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will have cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy in the afternoon.
High 67F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible. Given the
wind direction, there is potential for a good flight.
