Weather: A mostly cloudly day with moderate WNW to NW winds. Temps started out at 8C and got to a high of 10C. Raptor Observations: A small flight today with just 66 raptors... mostly N. Harriers (12) and Redtails (22) but also a few Merlins and a single Golden Eagle. Non-raptor Observations: The highlight of the non-raptors today were 6 CAVE SWALLOWS that passed through the hawk watch area. This is not a surprise given all of sightngs of this species along the shores of both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and in fact we had been watching for them to pass over the past few days. ======================================================================== 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
