Gerry, Laure and Rob C. Weather: The weather forecasters said there was only a 30% chance of rain today... but they were 100% WRONG.... so sadly I decided to leave with drizzle in the air at noon. Winds did get to moderate from the WNW and NW but there was just too much moisture in the air I think and it was solid overcast. Raptor Observations: Only 17 birds today. Non-raptor Observations: On the other hand there were some really good non-raptors today including a late Blue-headed Vireo seen right at eye level foraging beside the road, several flocks of Rusty Blackbirds, a couple of Common Ravens, several small flocks of Purple Finch, Pine Siskin and American Pipits... and there were Cedar Waxwings everywhere it seemed.
