Raptor Observations: A trickle of raptors highlighted by some nice looks at close Golden Eagles. Non-raptor Observations: Tundra Swans (60+) appear to have finally arrived a little later than usual. European Starlings (800+) were moving in the morning. Predictions: Pretty much a carbon copy of today except with lighter west wind. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jonathan Stein ([email protected]) Detroit River Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://www.drhawkwatch.org _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
