Weather: Another day of pure blue skies and light S winds. Temps still way too warm with a high of 27C today. Raptor Observations: At least the southerly winds up the cliff brought some falcons with singles of Am Kestrel and Merlin and the highlight were the Peregrines (5). Also a couple of N. Harriers, Sharpies (8) and a lone Cooper's Hawk. Non-raptor Observations: No non-raptor report provided today. Predictions: Monday's forecast is for moderate SW winds which should bring more birds along the cliff edge. Lots of sun with possibly some cloud building in as the day progresses. ======================================================================== 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
