Observers:	Art Tanghe, Joann Tetlow, Laura DeConinck, Pete Sucheski

Visitors:
Two checking to see what we were looking at.

Weather:
Mostly cloudy with NW winds becoming North. Comfortable low 70s despite Northerly winds.

Raptor Observations:
Local Bald Eagle and several Osprey. Merlin hunted the hedgerows then circled high and moved on.

Non-raptor Observations:
Greater Yellowlegs, Caspian Terns. Less Goldfinches though!

Predictions:
Cool west winds the next 3 days won’t stop movement but I would expect numbers similar to today.
