Predictions:
Weather tomorrow should be much more pleasant, for human and avian visitors alike. Skies are expected to be clear throughout the day, with relatively warm temperatures. Winds are expected to be northeast, but light. It should be a good day for raptor migration, especially since birds have been held up by the weather. We would love to see you!
