Visitors:
7 people visited the hawk watch today.
Weather:
Winds out of the northwest were much strong than hoped for today. Heavy gusts of wind were consistent. Sunshine and warm temperatures on the summit otherwise.
Raptor Observations:
Mostly Turkey Vultures moving again today. Strong northwest winds kept most birds at a distance from the summit.
Non-raptor Observations:
24 species were observed from the summit today; The highlight most certainly being our first Sandhill Cranes of the season. Those deemed migrating included: 19 American Goldfinches 7 American Robins 26 American Black Ducks 9 Blackbird sp. 9 Sandhill Cranes 39 Canada Geese 2 Purple Finches
Predictions:
A cool start tomorrow with temperatures increasing gradually through the count. Light northwest winds turning southwest then south may produce a decent flight.
