Weather: Strong southwesterly winds all day, along with a dropping barometric pressure. Raptor Observations: During the first two hours of the count I was worried I wouldn't break into double digits, but finally after 10 a group of Vultures made an appearance, and I managed triple digits! Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: Good north winds, freezing temperatures, and minimal clouds. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Sean Jenniskens ([email protected]) Holiday Beach Conservation Area information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=100 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
