With excellent winds, but a very low cloud ceiling, our results were mixed. I believe that if we had spotters on the north and South ends of the Park, we would have seen significantly more raptors before getting rained out at 1:00 PM EDT. Thanks to Tom, Carmine, and Iain Maione for keeping things interesting.
