Braddock Bay

Weather:
Today was overcast with some intermittent sprinkles. Winds were NNW at 10-15mph. Temps were in the upper 30s.
Raptor Observations:
There were a few local birds seen today, including a Northern Harrier and an American Kestrel hunting over the marsh. The only migrating raptor today was one single Turkey Vulture.
Non-raptor Observations:
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Cloudy in the morning, then on and off rain showers in the afternoon. High of 47F. Winds will be ENE at 10-20mph. Given the wind direction I expect very few, if any, birds to move. Friday will be mostly cloudy with some sun and will have strong SW winds at 20-30mph (with some stronger gusts). Temps will reach a high of 68F. I am expecting there to be some migration on Friday. As long as the winds aren�t too strong for the birds, there is potential for a good flight!
