These past three days have been quite slow. Saturday, April 29 was the best of the three with a total of 90 raptors moving through. That was a rather disappointing turn-out for what seemed like it might be a decent day for migration, weather-wise. The forecast for Sunday and Monday predicted a lot of rain. There ended up being a few clear hours on both days where I was able to watch for raptors, but to little success. Sunday produced 8 raptors and Monday produced 0 — my first day of actual counting where I didn’t see any migrants.
