Raptor Observations: The fog resulted in a half kilometre of visibility and the rain that ensued killed the raptor count for today. Non-raptor Observations: There was no migration of any kind today, either raptors or song birds, over the course of 3 hours. Predictions: Cloudy, light winds out of the south. Not particularly good conditions for raptor migration. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Todd Pepper ([email protected]) Holiday Beach Migration Observatory information may be found at: http://hbmo.org/ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
