Weather: Mostly clouded over this morning with light w winds. Temp is WAY TOO HOT for September with a starting temp at 7:00 am of 20C and getting to 27C before noon. I suspect not many migrants will be on the move in this kind of heat. Raptor Observations: Only 5 raptors passed through the hawk watch area today with 4 Sharpies and a lone Am Kestrel. Non-raptor Observations: None reported. Predictions: Continuing very hot for most of the week till perhaps a cooler day on Friday and then into the weekend. ======================================================================== 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
