Weather: Temps from 0C to 7C. Modest wind from N to NW, weakening near the end of the observation period. Mostly cloudy dissipated midday and returned again later. Raptor Observations: Intriguing variety today -- including a blackish dark morph Red-tail, a pure white Red-tail (minus a few dark feathers), a late Peregrine, a couple more Goshawks, and three more Golden Eagles. Non-raptor Observations: Most notable was a White-eyed Vireo seen and photographed by several. (Partial) eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S285683300 Predictions: Partly sunny and strong W winds through most of the day, backing to NW later -- probably not soon enough to allow much of a 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
