Thanks to everyone who helped spot the birds today and to Tom B as official counter with Tom S and Chris B and others as official spotters. Weather: Great moderate NE winds for the entire day with lots of eyes around to help spotting the birds which had gone higher. Temps from 8C to a high of 18C. Raptor Observations: Not a bad flight today though not as many birds as we’d thought might be in the pipeline. Hoping to see more birds tomorrow with continuing moderate to strong NE winds. Total birds tallied for today was 1406 with mostly Sharpies and TVs. Non-raptor Observations: eBird report here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S119809329 Predictions: More good NE winds and great sunny weather for Sunday should bring a decent flight. ======================================================================== 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
