Weather:
Morning fog burned off to partly sunny skies that became mostly sunny by late-morning. Light westerly winds to start became an increasingly strong northeast lake breeze.
Raptor Observations:
Light migration in the morning slowed to just a trickle of vultures. Turkey Vultures were most numerous today with 23. A few Bald Eagles, one harrier, and a Cooper's Hawk. Seven Broad-winged Hawks.

Predictions:
TOMORROW: Thunderstorms likely. High 73F. Winds S at 10-20mph. Chance of rain 80%. Good winds but rainy conditions will likely prevent a raptor flight. (Possibly a good day for shorebirds though!) TUESDAY: Partly cloudy with gusty winds. High 69F. Winds W at 20-30mph. Winds are a bit strong. Expect light to moderate migration. WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. High 61F. Winds NW at 10-20mph. Expect light migration.
