> Weather:
> The anticipation of a new season surpassed the likelihood of observing any
> migrants today, but it was a good day to introduce Andrew, our 2015
> Official Counter, to the site and our protocols. At least we had landmarks
> - sometimes! - to look at and learn.
>
> Cold and cloudy with periods of flurries and a moderate northerly wind. We
> called it quits when snow showers filled in during the afternoon, as
> moisture wrapped around the departing low.
>
> Raptor Observations:
> Not even local residents were out today!
>
> Non-raptor Observations:
> A mere 7 species heard or seen from the summit today.
>
> Predictions:
> Clear skies, with temperatures warming into the lower 40's and diminishing
> northwest winds are much favorable conditions for early-season migrants. I
> wouldn't expect to be skunked tomorrow!
