Raptor Observations: Most of the birds today crossed below tower level. I am sure I missed a number of Kestrel heading down the beach below tree level. Non-raptor Observations: Passerine migration was slow today. Attributed to the stiff west winds. Predictions: More sunshine tomorrow. The wind will veer to the NW this evening and continue NW all day tommorow. Looks good. Don't forget your sunscreen. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Claude Radley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Holiday Beach Migration Observatory information may be found at: http://hbmo.org/ Directions to site: See http://hbmo.org/directions.php
