Weather: Mostly cloudy with NW winds becoming North. Comfortable low 70s despite Northerly winds. Raptor Observations: Local Bald Eagle and several Osprey. Merlin hunted the hedgerows then circled high and moved on. Non-raptor Observations: Greater Yellowlegs, Caspian Terns. Less Goldfinches though! Predictions: Cool west winds the next 3 days won’t stop movement but I would expect numbers similar to today. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Mike Tetlow (<metetlow...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/ More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=353 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Geneseebirds" group.
