Thanks to everyone that helped with the spotting today including the whole Duncan family :) Weather: Well...the SW wind didn't want to cooperate today as it never really got going with any strength. The temp was quite cool at times when it clouded over. Eventually got some rain by late afternoon and that basically shut down the flight for the day. Observations: All around not a bad day again today with a total of 325 birds recorded. Some nice looks at Harriers and a couple more Peregrines spotted to the east of the cliff. Predictions: Hard to say what Monday will bring...there's a pretty good chance of showers and the winds are supposed to be W and fairly strong. If there's any rain at all, especially to the east there will be a very light flight. ======================================================================== 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.
