Weather: The day started with fog and temp at 1C. Winds were light from the NE but started to switch thru SE and around to SW for the rest of the count period. Once the fog lifted there was no cloud for the remainder of the day. Raptor Observations: A fairly small flight today with 189 birds tallied... no surprise given the wind directions pushing the flight inland. There was a lone Peregrine the passed by even in the fog in the first hour. Most of the flight was TVs and Sharpies. Non-raptor Observations: None reported. ======================================================================== 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
