Weather: Overcast and humid early one with a few patches of sun later. Temps 5C-10C. Robust WNW/NW winds throughout the period. Raptor Observations: Eager observers were quite disappointed as a noteworthy flight simply failed to materialize. Non-raptor Observations: Fox Sparrow, Lincoln's Sparrow, and Red-throated Loon were the highlights. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S282235818 Predictions: The forecast is for partly sunny skies and moderate winds beginning WNW and shifting towards NW as the day progresses. As the second day after the passing of the front, hopefully a better flight will result. ======================================================================== 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
