Weather: Completely cloudy today with moderate NW winds that eventually backed slightly to WNW. Temp remained steady at 1C. Raptor Observations: Not many birds moving despite the somewhat favourable winds to start... likely due to the wind backing round to the WNW. A total of 10 birds today with singles only of TV, N. Harrier, Sharpie and Cooper's Hawk... the rest were Red-shoulders (2) and Redtails (4). Non-raptor Observations: Some non-raptors reported including... E. Bluebirds, Fox Sparrow, N. cardinals and Red-bellied Woodpecker. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (thebrowns@ezlink.on.ca) Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch information may be found at: http://www.ezlink.ca/~thebrowns/HawkCliff/index.htm More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=392
