Observation start time: 05:00:00 
Observation end   time: 16:00:00 
Total observation time: 11 hours

Official Counter:        Cameron Cox

Observers:        

Weather:
Nearly dead calm with complete overcast and warm temperatures. This
combination is less than ideal for a good hawkwatch. 

Raptor Observations:
I've more or less forgotten what raptors look like in the past two days. 

Non-raptor Observations:
A reasonable movement of Purple Finches and Eastern Bluebirds occurred in
the morning. 

Predictions:
It is very unlikely to be anything other than absolutely awful.
