Weather:
Wind was originally light Northwest, but shifted at 9AM to East where it
stayed rest of day. Temperature went from 14° C to 22 ° C. Cloud cover
was not reported.
Raptor Observations:
Light flight. Most birds were fairly low (20-60 ft elevation). Once wind
shifted to the East (~9 am), birds began appearing to the West (i.e., over
road and marsh). As they approached, two Kestrels were mobbed by small
passerines and, as a consequence, became very un-Kestrel-like in their
flight movements with rapid wingbeats and erratic flight pattern. On these
birds, initial observations as they approached at a distance and close
scrutiny as they passed the platform confirmed that each was, indeed, a
Kestrel and not a Merlin.

Weather:
Sunny skies prevailed throughout the day today with light to moderate
north-northwest winds.
Raptor Observations:
A very good flight in terms of diversity was recorded today although many
of the birds were high and remained south and east of the platform,
particularly the Buteo kettles. Highlighting the day was a very good
showing of Peregrines, the highest tally of the season thus far, along with
the spring's second Swainson's Hawk - a rufous morph adult.

Total observation time: 8.5 hours
Official Counter: Dane Ferrell

9 in total, including our friends Brendan and Douglas. Brendan hung in
there through the worst of the Black Flies, and he spotted our first
countable Raptor of the day(a Sharpie).
Weather:
Rainy conditions to start the day; plenty of black-flies as well. South and
West winds later, warm temps, and nice clouds, but not many Birds.
Raptor Observations:
3 immie Red-tailed Hawks went through in 5 minutes; these Buteos were very
high, and just demanded to be counted.
5 immie Bald Eagles for the day were a nice surprise.
Non-raptor Observations:
50 Blue Jays migrating through.
