Visitors:22 people visited the hawkwatch.
Weather:It was a blustery day! Wind speeds were around 20-30 mph and mostly northwest throughout the count. This kept things a little slow, but there were still some migrants moving through. Skies were mostly cloudy at the beginning of the day, but it cleared up a bit and many of the clouds were wispy cirrus in the afternoon.
Raptor Observations:Nearly half of today's migrants were Turkey Vultures, who didn't seem to mind braving the winds. Accipiters followed low flight paths today. An immature Northern Goshawk flying over Pownal was a nice treat.
Non-raptor Observations:21 bird species were observed today. A little flock of five Bohemian Waxwings stopped by and landed in some nearby trees. Species deemed migrating:
