Not much going on at all. It was 100% cloud cover with light winds from the East-South-East or changing to the South or South-West-South. They were mostly 0-6mph. Visibility was clear but with some light fog in the background. Raptor Observations: 6 Red-tailed Hawks and 1 Northern Goshawk made up the total count. Non-raptor Observations: Many American Robins and Golden-crowned Kinglets were around today. One American Tree Sparrow was mixed in with some White-throated Sparrows.
