Weather:
Another day of rain of differing levels of intensity. The system is heading
towards the part of Canada that supplies us with birds to count. Not good.
Tomorrow offers clearing of the system but fairly strong winds from the W
going round to SW. Barometer should be back up by then.
Raptor Observations:
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
Most of the "good" portion of the winds bringing in the high will pass
through in the night leaving us with moderate winds from the W and a partly
cloudy sky to deal with. Hard to know what to expect since we have had two
days of bad weather to disrupt the flow. Always look on the bright side of
life however, and keep those clickers oiled.
