Visitors:no visitors
Weather:Overcast to start with but breaking out into warm and sunny by the last
hour. Unfortunately, light winds were from the northeast for the first 2
hours and due north for the last 3.
Raptor Observations:A single immature bald eagle in the middle hour was the only migrant to be
seen.
Appearances by the local redtails and one of the local Cooper's covered it
for other raptors.
Non-raptor Observations:Great crested flycatcher, red-headed woodpecker and ring-necked ducks were
the other notable species.
Predictions:NWS promises a warm sunny day. However, today is the final day of dedicated
coverage here at Hamburg.
So, a big THANK YOU is in order to all of our volunteers this spring!
