Weather:
A nice blue sky, then a very grey sky...no in between. Westerly winds all
day.

Interestingly, we had 2 raptors ever other hour, each "pair" within 5
minutes of each other. 2 Cooper's Hawks first, then two "pairs" of
Red-tailed Hawks.

Many unidentified Aythya ducks out on the lake. 136 Horned Larks migrated
over, as well as 2 each of American Pipit, Lapland Longspur, and Snow
Bunting. 186 American Goldfinches also migrated over. For the full eBird
