Weather:
It was very foggy and misting heavily in the morning. It stopped misting
around 10:am and was cloudy for the rest of the day. Temps in the low 40s.
Winds out of the NE at 5-10mph.

Raptor Observations:
Today's report is pretty short. With the NE winds, not a single raptor
decided to continue their migration along the lakeshore. However, there
were several immature bald eagles continuing in the bay from yesterday. A
highlight of the day was watching a local Osprey catch a large fish from
the bay and fly off towards its nest.

Non-raptor Observations:
An Eastern Meadowlark sang on and off in the early afternoon.

Predictions:
Tomorrow will be cloudy with a high of 52F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. There
will likely be very few, if any migrating raptors.
