Weather: Heavy overcast with mist for the morning so despite the good winds from the NW there were basically no birds moving. Raptor Observations: Just 2 birds today ... a N Goshawk trying to migrate through while being mobbed by at least 20 crows... and a lone Sharpie. Non-raptor Observations: None reported. Predictions: The next couple of days arent looking great either because of poor winds or not the best weather.. but keep an eye on Thursday with predicted NW winds and IF skies are a mix of sun and cloud its likely the birds will move. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown ([email protected]) Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch information may be found at: http://www.ezlink.ca/~thebrowns/HawkCliff/index.htm More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=392 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
