A big thankyou to those that helped get a count done today in the pure blue skies. Weather: Moderate SSW to S winds and lots of sunshine. Raptor Observations: A better day than we expected with the winds. Ended up with 404 birds tallied including a nice adult Peregrine right along the cliff edge and a good number of N. Harriers including adult looking and immature looking males. Non-raptor Observations: Some good passerines today as well. For details see the following checklist on eBird: https://ebird.org/checklist/S121153206 Predictions: Sunday promises to be a very similar day but with SE winds which will again push the flight inland for most birds other than those right along the cliff. ======================================================================== 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: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=392 -- Ontbirds and Birdnews are moderated email Listservs provided by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) as a service to all birders in Ontario.
