We couldn't get this done every day without them :) Weather: Light and variable winds today from N then W and finally SW. Temp to a high of 13 with little cloud cover. Observations: A bit smaller flight today of mostly TV's and Sharpies...typical on a day with light and variable winds. Predictions: A SW flow over the next couple of days and not very strong. May get some decent birds along the cliff on this wind and I'm sure if the weather is fair enough birds representing most species will be on the move although some further inland perhaps. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch information may be found at: http://www.ezlink.on.ca/~thebrowns/HawkCliff/index.htm Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch: Oldest Hawkwatch in Ontario - since 1931 - located just east of Port Stanley on the cliff overlooking Lake Erie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
