Weather update - The weather on Saturday and Sunday was nearly identical. It was sunny, temps in the 50's, and light north winds. Yesterday marked the 11th straight day of northerly winds for the area. Today, the temps are expected to be in the 70's and in the 80's tomorrow. Obvioulsy, brisk southerly winds will also be present. Tonight, temps are expected to remain in the 50's all night. Tonight should be a big night for early passerine movement. I'm guessing that tomorrow morning there should be a boatload of Hermit Thrushes, White-throated Sparrows, Golden-crowned Kinglets, Towhees, Winter Wrens, Sapscuckers, etc at Magee. Maybe a House Wren too. I'm not sure if Purple Martins have been sighted up here yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if I see some from the tower tomorrow morning.

There should be a good movement of raptors today and tomorrow. This is the time of the year when the greatest number of species of raptors could be observed. There could still be some March migrants such as Rough-legged and Red-shouldered, then some of the newer migrants, Broadwings, Imm Bald Eagles, and Ospreys.
