Thanks to everyone who helped out. Weather: A good mix of sun and cloud today making spotting the birds much easier. Temps ranged from 2C to 16C. Winds were moderate SE to ESE for the day. Raptor Observations: Another decent flight today with a total of 760 birds including several more Golden Eagles and a couple of N. Goshawks. Also quite a few Redtails and Shoulders. Non-raptor Observations: None reported today. Predictions: Looks like rain for Monday... then right back into southerly winds starting Tuesday. Once the rain moves through there will likely be flights a bit inland similar to those this past weekend. ======================================================================== 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.
