Weather: Winds weak to moderate from NNE, dying down near end of observation period. ZERO clouds. Temps from 13C to 22C. Raptor Observations: Cloudless skies and a tail wind meant that most birds were high and hard to relocate and/or point out to others. No doubt this meant that many birds were missed. Non-raptor Observations: A Common Nighthawk and 8 species of warblers were highlights. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S272841948 Predictions: Weak to moderate southerlies return, so don't expect much. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Chris Burris (ravenrunninghome@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
