Temps were moderate to warm for the date reaching the low 60's Raptor Observations: Four Golden Eagles, three visible at once, were huge crowd pleasers. However several runs of Northern Harriers, besting our seasonal daily high count for the season, were also quite satisfying. Non-raptor Observations: Two Eurasian Wigeons, a couple of late Bobolinks, and quite a late run on cormorants including one Great. Predictions: Slowish to not so slow or very slow.
