Weather: Early light N winds switched over to light SW winds for the remainder of the day. A lot more cloud cover today but slightly higher temps to 23 with steady BP. TUV=2 (Poor) Observations: As expected a very slow day with only 15 birds counted! However, highlights of the day were 3 Peregrine Falcons...evenly spaced through the count period. Predictions: Still predicting a small flight for tomorrow (Wed). We need a good strong cold front to get the birds moving...maybe happen by the end of the week. ======================================================================== 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
