Winds were SE and moderate to light for the day. Temps still managed to climb to around 20. Observations: A small flight today...a few eagles and a couple of Peregrines. Predictions: Friday looks wet...very wet thanks to the remnants of hurricane Isidore that have moved up from the Gulf of Mexico and into the NE of the US. Not likely to be any counts at all done tomorrow. :) ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown (thebrowns@ezlink.on.ca) Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch information may be found at: http://www.ezlink.on.ca/~thebrowns/HawkCliff/index.htm Hawk Cliff Hawkwatch: Oldest Hawkwatch in Ontario - since 1931 - located just east of Port Stanley on the cliff overlooking Lake Erie reports@hawkcount.org
