> Weather:
> Partly sunny for most of the day, and then the last two hours of the count
> were back to the cold and gray skies of early spring in Maine. Winds with
> an easterly component dominated the day, and visibility was good.
>
> Raptor Observations:
> We had 19 migrants today at the Brad. Many Bald Eagles were in the air
> throughout the day. Six eagles were involved in territory disputes near the
> summit.
>
> Non-raptor Observations:
> There were 28 species recorded at the count site. Other migrants included:
>
> Canada Goose 18
> Mallard 8
> Common Merganser 5
> American Black Duck 1
>
> Predictions:
> A winter weather advisory will be in effect from 10 pm this evening until
> 10 am tomorrow morning. Snow accumulation is predicted to be 1-3 inches
> over night. Some ice and freezing drizzle in the morning will likely delay
> the start of the count. The count will be postponed further if rain,
> freezing rain, snow, and/or fog are prevalent enough to disrupt visibility.
> Winds will be ENE, when the storm clears we will be counting.
