(No count conducted today)


Weather:
Today's count was canceled due to poor weather conditions. Dense fog covered the mountain and surrounding towns, limiting the visibility.

Raptor Observations:


Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
The count should be back underway tomorrow. Clouds will likely be hanging around in the morning, but we may see some breaks of sun by late morning or early afternoon. There is a chance of an occasional shower during the day.Winds may be strong, from the south-southeast at 10-20mph. I am certainly not a fan of the wind, but I can't wait to get back out there. Hopefully birds aren't pushed inland before getting close to the mountain. I am looking forward to whatever birds tomorrow brings.
