Visitors:
Thanks to Tom B. for doing today's count along with help from Dana L and
Tim A.
Weather:
Quite cool to start the day at 0C and getting quite a bit warmer by the
afternoon to a high of 14C. Winds were very lifght to start from the N and
remained light for the day and switched all the way around to S for the
last three hours. Very few clouds around for the first four hours before
filling in quite a bit and then opening back up once again in the last
hour.
Raptor Observations:
Not a big flight today but some good birds with 342 total raptors tallied.
Had a few more Golden Eagles (4) along with a few Rough-legged Hawks (4)
and a lone Peregrine. The single Osprey is getting quite late as we're into
mid November.
Non-raptor Observations:
None reported.
