Conditions for the carryover...

...While the wind has remained almost identical to the previous morning in direction and velocity (before the winds increased of course, which was later in the day), the overcast skies are presenting difficulties to visibility for the dogs. While the guns stand out, the long birds are a challenge to see in the air.
