Observations: Today was a slow day particularly in comparison to recent days. It appeared that the system that dominated our weather yesterday might have stalled birds further north. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Calvin Brennan (common_raven@hotmail.com) SMRR- Lake Erie Metropark information may be found at: http://www.smrr.net/ The primary site used by Southeastern Michigan Raptor Research (SMRR) is the Boat Launch at Lake Erie Metropark located approximately 20 miles south of Detroit, Michigan.
