Hamburg Hawk Watch
Hamburg, New York, USA

Steve Kempf; Wendy Zebehazy
Weather:
Cool with brisk, southwesterly winds for the first two hours. The count was interrupted for three hours of rain. The skies partly cleared and the winds continued for the last three hours.
Raptor Observations:
Only twelve migrating raptors in the first two hours. Light rain began just before noon then increased to a soaking downpour that lasted about two and a half hours. From about 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm, broad-wings, TVs, a few sharpies and some eagles moved through rapidly behind the front that passed. By 4:15, the flight came to a complete stop.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
Partly sunny with a chance of showers in the morning then mostly cloudy with showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some thunderstorms may produce heavy rainfall in the afternoon. Highs around 70. Northwest winds 10 mph or less. Chance of rain 70 percent
