Caister again today... Weather: As predicted moderate NW and then N winds with broken cloud. Cloud cover increased as the afternoon wore on. Temp to 13. Observations: Another great flight today!! Lots of TV's pushing through (2130)and some excellent numbers for Cooper's Hawks (73), Red-Shouldered Hawks (63), Sharpies (528) and Goshawks (6). Of note were 2 very late Broad-winged Hawks...perhaps somebody forgot to tell them the fall was here and winter not far behind!! :) Predictions: Winds predicted S for Monday...not the best winds for good flights at the Cliff. ======================================================================== 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.
