Official Counter: Gil Randell
Observers: Gil Randell, Mel Freeborough
Visitors:
Doreen and Michael Swartwood
Weather:
Northerly winds, cool but sunny.
Raptor Observations:
A very slow day: nearly as many watchers (10) as birds (17). The
northerly winds concentrated the light migratory flight on the hillside.
Anything coming through appeared forced fairly low by the easterly wind.
One of the migrating bald eagles, a full adult, came through about 20
meters directly over us.
Non-raptor Observations:
Jann Randell, Mike Ceci, Dave and Anita Cooney and Bill and Eileen Jowett
helped with the count.
Predictions:
A partly sunny morning with brisk southerly winds, increasing clouds with
possible showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. There could be a
flight in front of the coming storms.

Post-frontal NW winds meant a South Lookout day.

Approaching front will put winds back around to the SE for Friday, but
light. Saturday calls for strengthening southerly winds right ahead of the
front. Sounds good.

Weather:
Generally sunny conditions were seen today with varying amounts of high
cirrus cloud cover, heaviest in the later afternoon . Winds were moderate
varying from east-southeast to southeast.
Raptor Observations:
Other than Sharp-shins, which moved well throughout the day and a late-day
push of Kestrels, much of the movement for the day was in the morning.
Highlights included an early morning Short-eared Owl and two dark morph
Red-tails including the first juvenile noted so far this spring.
Non-raptor Observations:
Common Loons were the most conspicuos non-raptor migrants today. Among
passerine arrivals was a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, an early date for this
area.
