A flock of 8 Double-crested Cormorant flew north at 4:10 EDT. Several
Common Loon flew west. Two Brown Thrasher below a feeder, 2 Eastern
Phoebe, Field Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow but generally few

Weather:
A bit of cloud early gave way to a mostly sunny day. Winds were light and
variable early in the day becoming light to moderate from the east by late
morning.
Raptor Observations:
Several species had their best movements of the season today, most
impressive being the massive Sharp-shin flight. Sharpies were relentless
throughout the day being active well before the count began even and were
still moving I imagine well after the count ended. Rough-legs, Kestrels and
Merlins all had their best showings of the spring as well.
