Pepler, E. Taylor and G. Mann for coming out to help observe today. Weather: A little warmer today with a high of 15. Winds were light and variable in the morning but eventually settled in from the SW. Little or no cloud cover. Observations: Not a big flight today...most of the numbers were from just over 200 of each of TV's and Sharpies. Predictions: Light SW winds forecast again for tomorrow. Most likely this will result in much the same kind of flight as was recorded today. ======================================================================== 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.
