On off rain or mist all day or chances of rain all day. Raptor Observations: Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: Chances of a rain snow mix so don't know if a count will be done or not. Or if it ends before the count start time then it also might be to much wind (20-30mph) so might just have to wait and see. If for some reason no count is done Friday, then I think Saturday, Sunday and Monday should be good. Or at least better. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Seth Cutright (seth.cutright@gmail.com) SMRR- Lake Erie Metropark information may be found at: http://www.smrr.net/
