Warm October day with temperatures ranging from 47 °F to 62 °F. Light
wind mostly from the south. Cirrus clouds covering much of the sky, and
haze in the distance.
Raptor Observations:
Slow day for migrants but in the afternoon, a flock of Turkey Vultures came
by and Mike Gebo spotted a Black Vulture coming in from the east and moving
west. Local red-tails were often enjoying the breeze with the ravens and
nine Bald Eagles came by late morning, heading north.
Non-raptor Observations:
Two rabbits and several white-throats hopping about, some cormorants flying
by, and a Purple Finch eating mountain ash berries.

Showers likely tomorrow with wind from the southwest and temperatures in
