Weather: Not a cloud in the sky for most of the day...a few lone clouds later in the afternoon. Winds were supposed to be SW but actually started the day from the N and very light...increased later in the afternoon. Temp got up to 16. Observations: Not a bad flight even on the light winds...some good kettles of TV's and some decent Cooper's Hawk numbers. A nice Goshawk on the deck...obviously hunting no more than 15 or 20 feet above the ground. Noticed a pile of Yellow-rumped Warblers today...and lots of finches. ======================================================================== 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.
