Observers:

Visitors:
none.

Weather:
Rainy day. The radar showed a break in the rain at 10 am so I went up to the summit. I scanned the skies for about 20 minutes and then it started to rain pretty heavily so I headed back down with the intention of coming back if conditions cleared. Conditions alternated between light mist and rain showers for the rest of the day so I never went back up.

Raptor Observations:
None.

Non-raptor Observations:


Predictions:
Sunny skies tomorrow! Temps in mid 50's. Strong winds out of the northwest will likely keep the crowds down at the summit, but are unlikely to help with raptor migration. I expect to count at least a few birds tomorrow, despite the unfavorable winds.
