Weather: Winds were quite strong from the SW and SSW today with slightly warmer temps from 6C to 15C. Raptor Observations: Very few birds today and no surprise, most were species that like to fly along the cliff edge on strong SW winds. Total birds tallied was 27 and that included 6 Peregrines. Non-raptor Observations: An interesting non-raptor today was a juvenile Sabine's Gull the passed along the cliff at 9:45 a.m. Also of note was a couple of late Monarchs. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (thebro...@ezlink.ca) 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.
