Weather:
Today was overcast with temps in the low 30s. Winds were out of the WNW at 20-30mph. Snow showers started around 4pm.
Raptor Observations:
There were only three individual raptors that decided to move today; a Merlin, a Bald Eagle, and a Northern Harrier.
Non-raptor Observations:
There were some Tundra Swans migrating in the morning, but less than the previous few days, with a total of 98. Two Tree Swallows flew by and there were three Blue-winged Teal mixed in with the other ducks on the bay.
Predictions:
Tomorrow�s weather: Snow during the morning will give way to showers of rain and wet snow during the afternoon. Temps may reach a high of 41F. Winds out of the SSE at 15-20mph. 1-3 inches of snow is possible. Depending on how steady the precipitation is, the count may be shortened or cancelled.
