Sunny and warmer. Easterly winds might slow down and spread out the
flight.

Weather:
Sunny skies prevailed throughout the day today. Winds were light southeast
early becoming moderate northwest in late morning.
Raptor Observations:
What started as a pretty good movement quickly fizzled once the wind
switched to the northwest. In fact the afternoon was as slow as it has been
in a week or so.
Non-raptor Observations:
New arrivals included Belted Kingfisher and Eastern Phoebe. A first summer
Glaucous Gull was also of note.
