Weather:
Breezy (NW), mostly clear weather, later partly cloudy, high 15C
Raptor Observations:
Northern Goshawk 1 imm female dove into the Locust Grove at 2:25 PM DST,
and reemerged from there at 3:40 PM. Visitors mentioned a Bald Eagle at the
beginning of the Hook, but this bird never made it out to the point.
The two Black Vultures continue to be seen exploring the Hook.
Non-raptor Observations:
DC Cormorant 143; Greater Yellowlegs 8; Black-bellied Plover 1; Snowy Egret
4; Great Egret 3; Glossy Ibis 24; RB Nuthatch 1
Predictions:
Partly sunny in the morning...then mostly cloudy with a chance of rain in
the afternoon. Highs in the lower 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of
rain 50 percent.
SW winds and partly cloudy weather in the morning are ideal, so expect
another push of raptors ahead of the rain...

North-west winds at 7-15 mph. Mostly sunny skies but cold with temperatures
of 3-8C.
Raptor Observations:
Observations from south lookout.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
A slight drift of raptors is predicted for Thursday with light SSE winds
probably causing the lake breeze to develop sending hawk watchers to the
south lookout. Look for improving conditions on Friday with probably even
better conditions for Saturday with the passage of a warm front.

5 in total. Hmmmmm; school must be back in session.
Weather:
We started with zero cloud cover, and ended with 80 percent cloud cover.
Winds were NNW changing to variable later in the day. Temps were chilly
early and late, but fairly comfy in the middle of the day.
Raptor Observations:
128 counted Raptors; and 75 percent of these were distant looks - but i am
not complaining! Not after a rainout yesterday, preceded by 27 Birds total
in the 2 previous days... No sir; keep on coming Birds - distant or not...
And a special thanks to Bob D. for hanging in there on a difficult viewing
day. Excellent spotting, Bob!
Non-raptor Observations:
2 gorgeous Evening Grosbeaks in a flyby...Awesome! Great catch, Derek...
An above-the-Bird look at a flying Pileated Woodpecker... Way cool!

Weather:
Sunny becoming mostly cloudy; another chilly day, 44-58 degrees; good
visibility; winds started out light and northerly, then turned stronger and
westerly
Raptor Observations:
A second fine day. A Peregrine Falcon, leisurely circling, suddenly went
on a tear as if in a chase. Finally after crossing the sky it pulled up to
meet another Peregrine and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a few
minutes. At 2 pm EDT Hal Wierenga spied a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk,
only the fourth Rough-leg seen at the hawkwatch and the first since 1985.
The 17 Bald Eagles, including 2 juveniles, were a daily record.
