Official Counter: Maili Waters

Weather:
~15mph winds out of the north and constant snow until around 1pm. From
1-2pm there was some sun. Temps in the 20s.
Raptor Observations:
The only migrating raptor today was a beautiful adult Golden Eagle! It flew
in from the west, circled a few times right above the platform, then
continued its way east along the lakeshore. For resident birds, there were
two Red-tailed Hawks and one Bald Eagle.
Non-raptor Observations:
There were a lot of Canada Geese around today, however not seeming to be
actively migrating. They were mostly going back and forth from the bay to
(I'm assuming) farm fields to the south. One Northern Flicker was seen
along the tree by the parkway.
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: mostly sunny with winds out of the east at 5-10mph.
High of 29F. With east winds, I�m not expecting much to be blown up to the
lakeshore, however the wind isn�t too strong so there could still be a few
birds passing by.
