Peter Vanderpost gets a Tip-of-the-Cap for helping spot those far birds. Weather: Sunny, cloudless day, light winds didn't help migration. South, south, etc. Raptor Observations: The usual suspects BW-185, SS-71, AK-16. One Merlin was a winner. Too much south wind. Non-raptor Observations: Blue Jays-10,271 Predictions: NE wind with hope of Broad-wings flowing through the area. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Bob Pettit ([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.
