Braddock Bay
Rochester, New York, USA
Visitors:
Samantha Cali with two friends. Daena Ford stopped by just before the downpour.
Weather:
Very muggy and warm throughout the watch. Winds remained SW and WSW. Cloud cover increased with a downpour which shut down the flight just before beginning of the 4th full hour.
Raptor Observations:
Sporadic flight throughout with a couple of bursts of 10-15 birds at once.
Non-raptor Observations:
Cormorants, 6 ravens, great blue heron, king fisher
Predictions:
Humid with clouds and breaks of sun. Thunderstorms in the afternoon. SW winds. Should be a few birds moving.
