We had visitors from Kingsville today.

The bulk of the few birds seen were at the limit of visibility to the
north.

Non-raptor Observations:
Red-winged Blackbirds and Goldfinches were moving today.

Predictions:
Sunny with light North winds. A low near freezing and high near 8.  Should
bring some Eagles, Red-tailed, Red-shouldered and hopefully some
Rough-legged.
