Weather:
All messed up. Lots of dangerous looking clouds from the West that
eventually brought us a stoppage after a couple of semi-stops. Breezy and
humid.

Non-raptor Observations:
After the first front went through we had a loose group of four Scarlet
Tanagers followed by a tighter flock of about ten. If I had never scoped
them I would have thought Waxwings.
Predictions:
Locusts
