Weather: Temps ranged from 8C to 13C with the entire gamut of cloud cover. Wind remained rather stiff throughout the observation period, but with only a sliver of N in the W. Raptor Observations: A small flight wasn't surprising given the predominant westerlies. Non-raptor Observations: A few non-raptors around to fill in the gaps, including Tufted Titmouse, Nashville Warbler, and Chipping Sparrow. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S151662663 Predictions: Sunday will probably be similar to today, unless more-than-predicted N-in-the-W materializes. ======================================================================== 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
