Weather:
Today was overcast with ENE wind at 15-20mph. The temps were in the 30s.
Light rain started around 1:30.

Raptor Observations:
With the strong ENE winds, raptors were not migrating today. The only
raptor that was seen was one of the local adult Bald Eagles.

Non-raptor Observations:
There were a few blackbird flocks in the parkway trees. Several Horned
Larks flew over the platform throughout the day. The highlight of the day
was when three Common Ravens flew by calling.

Predictions:
Cloudy with a high of 48F. Winds are from the ESE at 5-10mph. I'm not
expecting much to migrate into a headwind, however it is light enough that
a few birds might trickle by. Saturday will have SW winds, but the rain
could damper any potential migration. However, Monday and Tuesday look
promising with SW winds and mostly sunny skies!
