Observation start time: 09:00:00
Observation end time: 13:00:00
Total observation time: 4 hours
Official Counter: Mike Tetlow
Observers: Brenna Kinzel, Bridget Watts, Dan Funk, Dan Niven
Visitors:
2 that helped do some spotting.
Weather:
Cool with almost no southerly breeze for the first 2 hours. As soon as
birds got up the lake enhanced E/SE breeze picked up keeping birds high to
the parkway side. The wind went full lake breeze and shut the flight down
by 1:30 EDT.
Raptor Observations:
Local Cooper�s Hawk passed by a couple times and Ospreys continue to work
the area. The only Harrier hunted the cattails and hedgerow and was counted
as a migrant when we lost track of it.
Non-raptor Observations:
Goldfinches, Tree and Barn Swallows were as active as usual. A Baltimore
Oriole popped up for a good view,
Predictions:
The perfect SW winds will likely come with the morning storms. The WSW
winds after the storms should get a flight going.
