Official Counter:        Cameron Cox

Weather:
Light SW wind in the morning switching to light NW by the afternoon but
drizzle to light rain from the midmorning on put a damper on the flight. 

Raptor Observations:
Almost nothing

Non-raptor Observations:
Fairly good movement of American Robins and the best showing of Cedar
Waxwings of the year. Three flyover Dickcissels were getting late.

Predictions:
Hopefully an excellent day is in store. NW wind is predicted
