Weather: Sunshine to start the day but MUCH colder with temps steady at 3C to 4C. Clouds moved in to completely cover the sky and winds were moderate from the W. Raptor Observations: A small flight today with just 68 birds but at least the guys got 4 more Golden Eagles. Non-raptor Observations: Thanks to Chad C for the following non-raptor report on eBird: https://ebird.org/canada/checklist/S122307422 Predictions: Winds will be stronger on Sunday starting from the W then swinging to NW for the remainder of the day. Hopefully, the winds swing around by the time the buteos get up and on the move by late morning. If so, it could be a decent flight tomorrow. It will totally depend on how fast the wind swings away from straight west. ======================================================================== 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.
