Predictions: Partly sunny with low ESE winds in the morning and moderate SE/SSE winds in the afternoon. If this forecast holds true we should see some good GOEA movement tomorrow, especially in the afternoon. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Thomas Filip () Tussey Mountain Hawk Watch information may be found at: tusseymountainspringhawkwatch.org/ <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftusseymountainspringhawkwatch.org%2F&data=05%7C02%<7Cscbirdcl...>%7C1145da0272a24a4580a908de77f46692%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C639080088741533332%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=n02mWUtgmudZRo6T%2BTf7Ff5ikwhU4BwBgiJuGguqPho%3D&reserved=0> More site information at hawkcount.org <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhawkcount.org%2F&data=05%7C02%<7Cscbirdcl...>%7C1145da0272a24a4580a908de77f46692%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C639080088741562592%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=EMOnw%2BVFNJaytStiXTx0rVQv9f0pnc2tHHv8PSG5xbI%3D&reserved=0>: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhawkcount.org%2Fsiteinfo.php%3Frsite%3D438&data=05%7C02%<7Cscbirdcl...>%7C1145da0272a24a4580a908de77f46692%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C639080088741587967%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uKuXaUpGSvW0TJN0TC5pU1EEL2S7hb81L4ZITdF%2B5Z4%3D&reserved=0 <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhawkcount.org%2Fsiteinfo.php%3Frsite%3D438&data=05%7C02%<7Cscbirdcl...>%7C1145da0272a24a4580a908de77f46692%7C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%7C0%7C0%7C639080088741609250%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2BsfEr81qF2b6d8cFen0%2FO1HOq6T%2BRv9pO9XPWg%2BUY1M%3D&reserved=0>
