Observers:
Weather:
Sunny cloudless skies prevailed throughout the day today with light
northwest winds becoming light to moderate north-northwest in the
afternoon.
Raptor Observations:
Today saw a marked improvement over recent days but there was a noticeable
lack of certain species (Harriers and Kestrels) and less than expected
numbers for some others (Rough-leg). Red-tails dominated overall with
variations including a rufous morph and a partially albino individual.
Also, one Red-tail appeared to have a mix of genes showing "Western" traits
(dark head and most of lower body and a more uniformly dark upper body) and
"Eastern" traits (lightly marked under wing and unbarred red tail).

Weather:
Wind -- mostly NW (2-4); Temperature -- 10-16-14°C; Clouds -- 0-50%
Raptor Observations:
Good movement - paling only in comparison to yesterday (as would any
count); Flight was heaviest in morning with 49/70 raptors coming through
in first two hours; though not counted a ranger estimated he had seen 40-50
kestrels pass by before observers were on site.
2 Bald Eagles (one near adult and one juvenile) -- not migrating
Non-raptor Observations:
Counts were made by observers -- official counter was not on site and is
only submitting the data
Predictions:
If winds continue flight may continue
