Thanks! Very helpful. Now, it is a matter of finding and believing in a forecast.
Looks like today's winds are very much from the East -- but according to the national weather service, winds will be from the south tomorrow.

Hi Denise. As Taylor has mentioned, The wind direction is not favorable.
But the thing that would make me drive 2 hours, or how ever far it is you are
coming from, would be the sunny weather. Sunshine almost always works here,
but the wind direction will affect the amount of birds that are viewed. The
Westerly winds are the better wind. If I had to make a prediction for tomorrow,
it would be that both Kites will be seen, If the clouds clear out early and the
sun is shining. If it is a Northeast wind, the numbers will be lower. Prime viewing
times are between 9:30 and 11:30 am and 3:00 to 5:30 pm. I hope this helps you.
