I wish to thank 15 or more observers who covered for me at Cranberry Marsh RW on Wednesday, Oct.15 The weather factors were not condusive for much of a flight. The "best" raptor was a Rough-legged hawk, our 2nd. I have an apology re. the inclusion of 38TVs, 6 RTs and 1 PG in today's report. They were birds seen by Marty Allinson on Oct.14 in the afternoon. I ask you to accept them being kept in today's report.
