We were also joined by visitors from New York travelling through the area. Weather: Today was a hot and humid day with extensive cloud coverage and very southerly winds. Raptor Observations: Very few migrating raptors, we observed many resident eagles, ospreys and turkey vultures. Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: We anticipate a cooler day and some northerly winds which should bring about raptors, particularly sharp-shinned, cooper's and broad-wing hawks. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Maryse Gagne ([email protected]) Holiday Beach Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://hbmo.ca/ More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=100 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
