Braddock Bay
Rochester, New York, USA
Visitors:
None.
Weather:
59 degrees Fahrenheit with a strong ENE wind. Drizzle to start and fog with heavy, low cloud cover continuing.
Raptor Observations:
A local adult Bakd Eagle flew low from the eagle trees up Buttonwood Creek and one local Osprey finally hunted the bay before we left.
Non-raptor Observations:
Barn and Tree Swallows hunting inches off the ground and American Goldfinches still happily feeding.
Predictions:
Slowly clearing and warming but NE winds will likely prevent more than a couple birds from moving. Friday is clearer and warmer but still North winds so look to Saturday and Sunday for that southerly element to get birds moving.
