Braddock Bay
Rochester, New York, USA
Visitors:
Tim Willis and 3 others.
Weather:
The day started off windy and chilly and continued throughout. Dark westerly clouds brought sprinkles and shut down the count for the second hour. Short bursts of warm air periodically kept us from getting our blankets out. The third and fourth hours brought blue sky.
Raptor Observations:
Not much seen today. What we did see was extremely high. Difficult to see with the large clouds which covered the skies. A local adult bald eagle flew overhead carrying a fish.
Non-raptor Observations:
Cormorants, Great Blue Heron. The number of swallows seems to be dwindling.
Predictions:
Breezy in the morning with intervals of clouds. Possible thunderstorms and westerly winds. May see some movement.
