Weather: Temps 6C-7C. Oversat throughout. Modest winds more or less due N. Raptor Observations: Six more Golden Eagles and a fair sample of other species, including a late Osprey. Non-raptor Observations: Lots of American Pipits. Rusty Blackbirds and swan app. also noted. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S283599540 Predictions: Strong N winds are forecast, but raptor numbers will depend on clear or snow versus rain: the wetter the skies, the fewer the raptors. ======================================================================== 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
