Observation start time: 11:00:00
Observation end time: 13:00:00
Total observation time: 2 hours

Official Counter: Mike Tetlow

Observers: Dan Funk

Visitors:
None.


Weather:
59 degrees Fahrenheit with a strong ENE wind. Drizzle to start and fog with
heavy, low cloud cover continuing.

Raptor Observations:
A local adult Bakd Eagle flew low from the eagle trees up Buttonwood Creek
and one local Osprey finally hunted the bay before we left.

Non-raptor Observations:
Barn and Tree Swallows hunting inches off the ground and American
Goldfinches still happily feeding.

Predictions:
Slowly clearing and warming but NE winds will likely prevent more than a
couple birds from moving. Friday is clearer and warmer but still North
winds so look to Saturday and Sunday for that southerly element to get
birds moving.
