Predictions: Tomorrow: Morning snow will taper off to cloudy skies. High 44F. Winds ESE at 15-25mph. A good wind, but looking pretty cold and gloomy. Might be a bit of a north lookout flight, but probably not a big flight. Monday: Morning rain showers becoming steady rain in the afternoon. High 61F. Winds SSE at 15-25mph. Rainfall may reach one inch. Perhaps a bit of action before the rain, but unfortunately the rain may shut down the flight. If the rain is light some raptors may push through. Tuesday: Blustery with snow showers. Cold. High 24F. Winds W at 20-30mph. Expect minimal migration. Count will likely be shortened or canceled. ======================================================================== Report submitted by David Brown ([email protected] ) Derby Hill Bird Observatory information may be found at: http://onondagaaudubon.com/derby-hill-bird-observatory/ More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=358 -- Oneidabirds-L List Info: Visit: http://LISTS.cornell.edu for more information Posting Address: [email protected] Sightings: Please submit your observations to eBird at http://www.ebird.org. --
