Weather: Temos ranged from 8C to 14C. Winds were weak to moderate from the NW, backing to WNW. The early morning heavy overcast was reduced to virtually no clouds by end of the observation period. Raptor Observations: Quality, not quantity -- most notably, double-digit Golden Eagles, with an amazing 4 subadult/juvies in the same mini-kettle. Non-raptor Observations: eBird list here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S201720930 Predictions: strong winds predicted tomorrow -- size of flight will depend on how much and how soon it shifts from W to NW ======================================================================== 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
