Congrats to visitors who picked a great day. Weather: Close to ideal conditions today: Partly cloudy, low humidity, steady -- mostly NNW winds. Temps 12C - 20C.

Non-raptor Observations: Some other birds were around, but we were kinda busy. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S392996053 Predictions: Tomorrow's calling for stiff S/SW winds and possible rain.A few birds may use the cliff updrafts, but don't expect much else. ======================================================================== 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
