Wind, Snow, Rain - Monday, October 1, 2007

In Martin's words:

"Today, Monday, the precipitation was rain. We had a fair amount of wind. By 11 AM the clouds had lifted enough to show the owl on the knoll. By 2 PM we confirmed that Sugarloaf still existed, with a dusting of snow still sticking to the top."

"Finally, about 4 PM ( with dozens of ravens showing off their mastery of the windy skies....)" they had a HY M Sharpie. "Definitely the best bird of the day." The second bird of the day came in about 10 minutes later, a HY F Sharpie.

Raptors banded:

1 HY male SSHA
1 HY female SSHA

"Snow can be picturesque, but it sure slows things down......"
