Weather: A somewhat sunny day was seen today but with a substantial high thin cloud layer and haze over the lake. Winds were moderate but brisk off the water from the southeast. Raptor Observations: There was very nice variety today if not really big numbers except for Rough-legs, a species really hitting their stride right now. Most interesting was an adult light morph western Red-tail, a variety that is perhaps overlooked here but most likely occurs as often as dark morphs. Non-raptor Observations: The most obvious migrant today was Sandhill Crane with about 200 noted in all. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Calvin Brennan (common_raven(AT)hotmail.com) Whitefish Point information may be found at: http://www.wpbo.org/ BIRDHAWK is sponsored by HMANA.
