Weather:
Windy and very chilly, especially early near the lake. Winds mainly WNW.
Raptor Observations:
The relatively modest numbers of raptors were fairly spread out; the
broadwings not terribly high but few in number.
Non-raptor Observations:
Dave and Anita Cooney, Bill and Eileen Jowett, Tom Wasilewksi, Mike Ceci
and Jann Randell helped with the count. Naps on Creamery Road anyone?
Eastern Phoebe, yellow-bellied sapsucker, lots of bluejays moving through.
Predictions:
Not promising with rain predicted in the morning and possibly in the
afternoon with dropping temperatures and very brisk winds (10-15 mph - none
southerly). We've been wrong before.

Overcast conditions in the morning gave way to partly sunny conditions in
the afternoon and clearing by late afternoon. Winds were fairly strong and
gusty from the west switching to the northwest in the afternoon.
Raptor Observations:
Quite a modest movement was recorded overall, not surprising given the
intensity of this particular cold front and the strong winds associated
with it.
