Low temperatures averaged 31.3 across all counts (n=31), and highs averaged 48.0. There was a minimum low of 19 (Oakland), maximum low of 50 (Cape Henlopen-Prime Hook), minimum high of 28 (Oakland), and a maximum high of 65 at Cape Henlopen-Prime Hook (all temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit). Snow cover was zero on all counts. The strongest winds were at Cape Henlopen-Prime Hook (15-35 mph). There continue to be a lot of high counts for Bald Eagles (7 counts) consistent with their recovery and increasing numbers. A decline in Sharp-shinned Hawks has been documented starting in the 1980s and 1990’s (Viverette et. al. 1996). It may be a stretch to use high or low counts as data supporting such trends. The Patuxent River Count had a low count of one, whereas they had a high last year of seven. Note that the Patuxent River Count was first run in 1995 (after the decline was well underway).
