Raptor Observations: Nothing to be seen. Non-raptor Observations: A nice mixed flock of tree sparrows, juncos, whitethroats, yellow rumps and chickadees was foraging nearby. Predictions: Looks like more of the same: overcast skies, cool temps and a 60 percent chance of rain. A northwest wind shift might bring some birds if the rain holds off. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jonathan Stein ([email protected]) Detroit River Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://www.drhawkwatch.org _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
