Weather: Winds were moderate to strong from the E for the count today... with lots of cloud cover and temps to a high of 10C. Raptor Observations: Not many birds on the move today with just 31 total. Non-raptor Observations: some passerines noted today with Yellow-rumped Warblers, a single Blackpoll Warbler, Eastern Bluebirds, Purple finch, Golden-crowned Kinglet, N. Flicker, YB Sapsuckers, Blue Jays (though not in the numbers that have been moving through over the past couple of weeks), N. Cardinal, Mourning Doves, Great Blue Heron, DC Cormorants, Am. Crows and E. Starlings. Predictions: Saturday looks wet at this point but Sunday holds some promise with light NE winds and maybe some drier weather. ======================================================================== 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.
