Weather: Well we got some not bad SW winds for the entire day along with lots of sunshine. Temp ranged from a cooler 10C to a high of 20C. Raptor Observations: Despite the good wind direction for species that like to fly the cliff with SW winds providing great vertical lift not a single Peregrine today. VERY strange. Just 30 birds total today. Non-raptor Observations: None reported. ======================================================================== 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.
