Weather:
Sunny conditions prevailed throughout much of the day with cumulous cloud
developing in the afternoon. Heavier cloud moved in late in the day ahead
of tonights forecast rain. Winds were light to moderate out of the west,
becoming more southerly by mid afternoon but remaining light for the most
part.
Raptor Observations:
There was moderate to heavy movement throughout much of the day today
highlighted by an large push of birds in mid morning with three quarters
of the days Broad-wings coming through in a one-hour period along with one
of the largest groups of TVs. Other highlights of the day included a very
good push of harriers (I believe at one point there was 6 or 7 in view at
once) and Bald Eagles along with the seasons third Swainsons Hawk, a
light morph juvenile. Among the migrant Red-tails seen today was an
individual that appeared to have a broken leg. One has to wonder how this
juvenile bird will fare during the first year of its life.
Non-raptor Observations:
A small number of Rusty Blackbirds were noted migrating through today.
