Thanks to Tom B for hanging in to do a bit of a count today despite the very slow flight. Weather: Winds were light from the NE for the morning before backing to E and then SE and effectively ending the flight for the day. Temps were quite cool starting at 3C and getting to a high of 12C. Almost 100% cloud cover for the morning and then breaking out to pretty much clear skies for the afternoon. Raptor Observations: A small movement of raptors today with just 58 tallied. Tom had just a single Golden Eagle for the count period along with a few each of other species. Most of the count was TVs (33) and Redtails (12). Non-raptor Observations: None reported today. Predictions: It looks like Monday will start with rain for most of the morning before opening up to a mix of sun and cloud for the afternoon. Winds are forecast to be moderate to strong from the SW and then W which will most likely push any migrant raptors inland away from the lake shore and out of view of the hawk watch platform. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (ez.raptor1210@gmail.com) 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
