Observers:

Visitors:
A couple visitors, unfortunately not many birds to see for most of the day.


Weather:
Moderately strong Southerly winds all day. Rain started rolling in at about
3:45pm local time, so the count was ended for the day.

Raptor Observations:
Fairly slow day today, Turkey Vultures were trickling through along the
lake for part of the day. One Merlin first thing in the morning, then 3
more in the afternoon.

Non-raptor Observations:
2,710 Blue Jays today, there numbers are certainly dwindling. 47 American
Robin, 178 American Goldfinch, and our first 4 Pine Siskins of the season
were observed migrating. Dabbling duck numbers continue in good numbers on
the marsh, as well as a large number of American Coots.
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32101101 One Monarch today.

Predictions:
Moderate NW winds overnight, but will be out of the W in the morning,
switching to SW in the afternoon.

The Le Conte's is still present, giving magnificent views to a group of us
here. It's at the southeast corner of the pond, just to the west of the
paved path about a hundred metres west of the water tower.
