The system is heading towards the part of Canada that supplies us with birds to count. Not good. Tomorrow offers clearing of the system but fairly strong winds from the W going round to SW. Barometer should be back up by then. Raptor Observations: Non-raptor Observations: Predictions: Most of the "good" portion of the winds bringing in the high will pass through in the night leaving us with moderate winds from the W and a partly cloudy sky to deal with. Hard to know what to expect since we have had two days of bad weather to disrupt the flow. Always look on the bright side of life however, and keep those clickers oiled. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Jerry Jourdan ([email protected]) Detroit River Hawk Watch information may be found at: http://www.detroitriverhawkwatch.org More site information at hawkcount.org: http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=285 Count data submitted via Dunkadoo - Project info at: https://dunkadoo.org/explore/detroit-river-international-wildlife-refuge/detroit-river-hawk-watch-fall-2019 _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
