Not much to report today. Local pair of Coopers Hawks were displaying high in the air right at closing time.

Non-raptor Observations:
No non-raptor migrants were observed today. A total of 12 species were observed from the summit.

Should be mostly cloudy tomorrow with a high temp in the high 50's. Winds will be weak-to-moderate out of the north. 4 birds in the last 90 minutes of the count today gives us hope that birds will be trying to move tomorrow.
