Lots of cloud cover and temps to 25. Winds were strong and NW for most of the day. TUV=5 (Very Good) Observations: Lots of birds today with a total of 1237 birds counted of 10 different species. Highlights were the 21 Bald Eagles (the Hawk Cliff 1-day record is 23)and 4 Peregrine Falcons. An all around fun day for hawkwatching! Predictions: Ne winds for tomorrow and likely some good cloud cover...may be a decent flight. ======================================================================== 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
