Observers: Julie Leonard
Visitors: Hats off to Julie Leonard who ran the show, while I was out of town for the day. A cyclist, Dennis, and Mark Lethaby stopped for a visit.
Weather: Sunny to mostly sunny with SSE wind then becoming variable with mild temps.
Raptor Observations: A relatively light movement, mainly of TVs and BWs. The BWs became very high during the second hour. When the winds became variable birds started drifting to the south and not much happened after the 1300 EST hour. One local Cooper's Hawk.
Non-raptor Observations: Purple Martin, Pileated Woodpecker, one flock of 18 Blue Jays, American Goldfinch, and a few Red Admiral butterflies.
Predictions: Stormy conditions with strong south wind. I expect some birds to drift through between showers, but otherwise, can't expect much. Jerry McWilliamsErie, Erie Co., <Pa.jerrymcw...>
