Weather: Temps 10C-17C. Winds moderate S to SSW. Variables clouds. Raptor Observations: Minus the 300 or so Turkey Vultures lifting off as soon as the thermals got going, rapt sightings were scarce, but Golden Eagle and Peregrine Falcon singles spiced up the day. Non-raptor Observations: American Pipits are starting to appear in numbers. eBird list here: Predictions: The forecast is for partly sunny skies and modest NW winds, weakening into early afternoon, so there may be some numbers moving by mid-morning. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Chris Burris ([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.
