Temp ranged from -2C to 3C. Wind was a moderate ENE during the span. Raptor Observations: A few kettles of mostly buteos filtered through by mid-day, but most birds were vary high, consistent with the eastern tailwinds. Countable Red-taileds hit triple digits, along with a handful of Red-shouldereds and a single dark morph Rough-legged. One more American Goshawk lumbered through at medium height with buteos not far off. Non-raptor Observations: Common Raven and Northern Flicker were the most notable non-raptors. eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S154885684 Predictions: Rain and southeast winds suggest that you'd best give yourself a day off on Tuesday. ======================================================================== 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
