Temp to 18. Eventually got into broken cloud with a lot more sunshine by the end of the day. Observations: Great day for Peregrines and we weren't disappointed!! A total of 14 for the day...and all but 1 were adults. Predictions: If the wind hangs out to the SW we may get another good day for Peregrines and other species that tend to move along the cliff. This would include Osprey and Bald Eagle. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Dave Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.ofo.ca/ontbirdsguide.htm for information on leaving and joining the list.
