Observation start time: 08:00:00
Observation end time: 12:00:00
Total observation time: 4 hours
Official Counter: Chris Burris
Observers: Dave Brown, Tom Bolohan
Visitors:
A few -- sorry it was rather disappointing.
Weather:
Clear to start becoming overcast, with drizzle by the end of the count.
Temp 6C-8C. Steady NNW/NW wind.
Raptor Observations:
The hoped-for dry out didn't really materialize, with the modest flight
trickling to nil by noon.
Non-raptor Observations:
On the plus side, non-raptors were moving through in good numbers,
especially in the early hours. eBird list here:

Predictions:
Sun and stiff SW to W winds are forecast. The drier air may encourage more
movement, but the birds will probably be pushed inland.
