Official Counter: Nate Marchessault

Observers:

Visitors:
16, thanks Bob, Chuck, Robin, Eric, and others for stopping in to search
for birds.


Weather:
Started with frost on the picnic tables with temps rising to 4 C in the
afternoon. Light winds from the north with sunny skies that gave away to
clouds and patchy rain showers in the afternoon.

Raptor Observations:
A few raptors here and there in the morning, once the rain showers started
to appear activity more or less died out.

Non-raptor Observations:
The usual suspects were around: a good few juncos, nuthatches, chipmunks,
our two cottontails, and two red squirrels were calling in the woods all
day.

Predictions:
Slightly warmer with winds from the northwest, there should be some birds
around!
