Weather         

Partly cloudy skies for most of the count of mostly cumulus, nimbo-stratus and cirrus clouds.  Thermal lift was mostly poor to fair.  Winds primarily out of the SW at 6-17kph occasionally gusting to 22kph.  A high temperature of 10C, but the temperature fluctuated as the clouds moved through.  Barometric pressure was steady.  Visibility was excellent during the day.

Raptor Notes 

No migrants moved through today, the last day of the count.

Residents were mildly active in the morning hours, but dispersed far away from the OP in the afternoon.  This has been the case for most of the last week.  It is also interesting to note that all of the resident GOEA adult pairs have dispersed or are preoccupied with post-breeding activities.

Non-raptor Notes

No new arrivals during the count however the following morning the first Long-billed Curlew of the season was detected.  I had a nice visit with the resident WBNU throughout the day.  The birds toot-toot will be missed.  It had become quite comfortable with me frequently flying directly over my camp table or head during the last week of the count.
