Hi Mike,

Not a huge day by any means and really not very good from a photographer's point of view but we did finish the day with 134 raptors counted, mostly high up.  The Osprey that Richard photographed was about the best low bird of the day today.  With very light winds from the north this is expected and quite normal.  Better days ahead, watch for NW winds around 15-40 km/h.
