Braddock Bay
Rochester, New York, USA
Visitors:
Ken and his dog Duncan stopped by and chatted around 10:45.
Weather:
Mostly cloudy and muggy. It started to rain at the end.
Raptor Observations:
A quiet day. Saw a female Northern Harrier perched in the wetland area and an adult eagle perched in a snag on the far side. A couple of turkey vultures were flying to the west. Light numbers of broad-wings and red-tails.
Non-raptor Observations:
A flock of 37 unknown duck species flew by. Lots of swallows. Goldfinch activity was abundant in the flowery scrub.
Predictions:
Wind direction will impact numbers.
