Official Counter:        Cameron Cox

Observers:        

Weather:
Obnoxiously strong NE winds all day, 

Raptor Observations:
One Peregrine Falcon was counted. One. Multiple other Peregrines and
Merlins were working the area all day but did not move though the area. 

Non-raptor Observations:
Over the course of the day I observed 20 Lesser Black-backed Gulls in a
wide variety plumages. A Marbled Godwit flew past as did a flock of 8
White-rumped Sandpipers.  

Predictions:
Better than one
